Let's work together

If you’ve got an idea we’d love to hear it

What is the HRC?

We bring together the researchers, companies, charities, patients and public to develop technology which helps patients rehabilitate after life changing injury, trauma and illness.

We’re funded by the UK government’s health and social care body, the National Institute for Health and Social Care Research, with a grant of £2.8 million over five years, starting in 2024.

We are hosted by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and based at NUH working closely with the National Rehabilitation Centre. You can find our other partners here.

Who needs us?

Modern medicine helps more people survive increasingly serious injuries, trauma and illness. That in turn means there are more people needing rehabilitation, often from more serious events that they may not have survived a few years ago. They need us.

Better rehabilitation means people can get back to work and other activities more quickly. It means they - and their families - will have a better life and contribute to society and to the economy. They need us, too.

The UK is a leader in the medical technology industry. But its 4,000 companies and £21bn revenue is overwhelmingly made up of small and medium sized businesses without the infrastructure for expensive development cycles. They need our support in developing their resources and capacity.

What are our aims?

  • To help patients undergoing rehabilitation recover faster and more fully using technology
  • To support NHS staff with better rehabilitation equipment and techniques
  • To build the UK’s rehabilitation technology businesses

How are we achieving them?

We’re an ideas funnel. Our experienced team will work with ideas from patients, health professionals, academics, inventors, entrepreneurs and the public to help develop rehabilitation technology. You don’t have to be a professional to work with us.

We can offer support to help you hone your idea into a clear question to research, a prototype to test, a product to market – or whatever it takes to accelerate the development of new rehabilitation technologies.
