The HDR UK Training and Capacity Building Team has teamed up with NIHR to offer up to 30 ECRs a unique look into horizon scanning.
This full-day immersion visit to the NIHR Innovation Observatory will focus on horizon scanning and artificial intelligence.
The observatory is the UK’s national horizon scanning centre for health and care innovations. It is a world-leading organisation that uses advanced data-driven methods to identify, assess, and monitor emerging health technologies. Its work provides critical insights to policymakers, regulators, and industry, ensuring timely and equitable access to high quality care.
