The Yorkshire MedTech Secondments Programme supports collaboration between businesses, universities, healthcare providers and public sector organisations to accelerate innovation in the medical technology sector. The programme enables organisations to host or participate in short-term placements designed to share knowledge, build skills and progress new ideas.
Secondments typically last up to three months and allow individuals to work within a partner organisation, focusing on specific projects that support research translation, product development or commercialisation activity. The programme aims to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application, helping innovative ideas move more quickly towards market.
Businesses can benefit from access to specialist expertise, research capability and fresh perspectives, while academic and healthcare partners gain valuable insight into commercial environments and industry challenges. This collaborative approach helps strengthen regional innovation capacity and supports the development of new healthcare solutions.
The programme is particularly relevant for organisations developing or adopting medical technologies, including digital health, diagnostics, devices and related innovation. It also supports skills development, workforce capability and cross-sector partnerships.
Funding is available to support secondment activity, helping to cover costs associated with placements and enabling organisations to participate with minimal financial risk.
Overall, the Yorkshire MedTech Secondments Programme provides a practical route to accelerate innovation, develop talent and build meaningful partnerships across the health and technology ecosystem.
