Innovation management

The health and care system is rich with innovation, but too often, good ideas struggle to gain traction, scale, or achieve meaningful impact.

At Future Care Capital (FCC), we specialise in unlocking the potential of innovation by identifying and removing the systemic barriers that stand in the way.

We work with health and care providers, policymakers, investors, and entrepreneurs to support, scale, and sustain innovation that delivers real-world improvements for people and communities.

Our approach

At our heart, FCC is a pragmatic, independent, and knowledgeable advisory for innovation in health and care.

We understand the complexity of the health and care landscape – and what it takes to move an idea from early-stage concept to system-wide adoption. That’s why our innovation management support goes beyond theory: we provide real-world, delivery-focused support to help innovation succeed at scale.

What we do

Implementation and Adoption Support

Helping MedTech, HealthTech, and NHS organisations move from concept to application – ensuring strong governance, robust strategy, and risk management are in place. This might include:

• Dedicated delivery resource
• Evidence gathering and business case development
• Advisory input across the lifecycle of the innovation

Integration Support

We work with organisations that need pragmatic, hands-on help to integrate innovations into existing services and pathways.

This can be a tricky stage – having an independent partner who understands the NHS landscape can make the difference between success and stalled progress.

Independent Evaluation and Validation

We provide evidence-based assessments to support adoption, procurement, and scale-up. Our evaluation expertise helps de-risk decision-making for:

• Tech and innovation investment
• NHS procurement
• Regulatory approvals

(Delivered in close alignment with our Impact Evaluation service)

Landscape Reviews and Market Intelligence

We offer deep-dive sector insights to help innovators move from pilot to scale, including:

• Ecosystem and market mapping
• Competitor and demand analysis
• Opportunity scoping aligned with system priorities

Facilitation and Stakeholder Alignment

We act as a trusted convener, bringing together investors, NHS decision-makers, and technology providers to align around shared goals – bridging common disconnects in health and care transformation.

Building Networks and Partnerships

We act as a connector, helping innovators access the right people, partners, and platforms to accelerate their impact – including funders, adopters, and policy influencers.

We recognise that Innovation Management and Impact Evaluation are two ends of the same spectrum. Both are essential to ensuring that innovations in health and care are:

• Successfully implemented
• Confidently adopted
• Rigorously measured for real-world impact

Our team works across both domains to ensure ideas lead to outcomes.

Who we work with

We partner with:

• Startups and SMEs – looking to test early-stage ideas or explore sector fit and scale-up pathways
• Health and care providers – who have the ambition but may lack the internal capacity or know-how to adopt new solutions
• Funders and investors – seeking validation and assurance that their investments deliver both proof of concept and impact
• Policy and system leaders – working to create more innovation-friendly environments across the UK

Why FCC?

• We are pragmatic and independent
• We bridge sectors, systems, and silos
• We offer cross-sector insight and convening power
• We operate at both strategic and delivery levels
• We are driven by outcomes, not commercial return
• We focus on what works – and why it matters to the patient
