How techUK’s SMEs can deliver the 10 Year Health Plan for England

SMEs are powering prevention, digital care, and workforce resilience in the NHS 10-Year Plan.

We are pleased to launch techUK’s latest SME Evidence Pack, showcasing how our members are helping to turn the ambitions of the 10-Year Health Plan for England into reality.

SMEs make up over 99% of the UK business population and play a vital role in health and social care innovation. This publication highlights the crucial contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises across the sector, demonstrating how they are improving prevention and early intervention, strengthening system efficiency, supporting workforce resilience, enhancing access to care, and pioneering new digital tools that empower citizens.

Drawing on real-world case studies from techUK members, the Evidence Pack explores how SMEs are:

  • Moving care from hospitals into communities through integrated, neighbourhood-based services.

  • Driving digital transformation with new platforms, tools, and patient-facing solutions.

  • Supporting prevention and early intervention through innovative diagnostics and therapeutics.

  • Enabling a resilient and digitally skilled workforce.

  • Powering transformation with cutting-edge data and AI applications.

By illustrating how SMEs are already delivering tangible benefits for patients, clinicians, and the wider health system, this report calls on commissioners, policymakers, and larger enterprises to work in partnership with SMEs to build a sustainable, digital-first NHS.
