Medical knowledge provider BMJ has announced it will be a supporting partner for a new cross-party Parliamentary group to be launched after the UK General Election in May.
Focusing on implementation and the importance of effective delivery of health innovations for patients, the prospective group for Bioscience & Technology in Healthcare will be for all politicians who want to see the NHS benefit promptly from UK investment and excellence in science and technology.
It will identify potentially transformative developments as they emerge, their implications for healthcare and potential barriers to their use; as well as economic, logistical, ethical, legal and social factors and other policy issues.
Membership will be open to all members of the House of Lords or House of Commons and the group will be chaired by Lord Norman Warner.
