Breaking into the NHS, the world’s largest publicly funded healthcare system, can feel like scaling a mountain, especially for healthtech companies from outside the UK. But what if you had a guide who not only knew the terrain but helped shape the path?

Enter Dace Dimza-Jones, a powerhouse at the UK’s Department for Business and Trade, where she serves as a National Life Sciences Inward Investment Specialist. Her mission? To help global businesses navigate the complex NHS landscape, bring groundbreaking innovations to the UK, and connect with the right partners to make it all happen.

In this episode, Tanya and Gordon sit down with Dace to uncover:

• The behind-the-scenes of getting your product in front of the NHS
• What makes a company NHS-ready, and what doesn’t
• Why her outsider’s perspective is her greatest asset
• How international investment is shaping the future of UK healthcare
• And why the North of England isn’t just a base, it’s a statement

Whether you’re a startup eyeing the UK market or just fascinated by the intersection of business and public health, this is a conversation packed with insight, inspiration, and a little Northern grit.
