There is strong pressure from the Research Councils (on behalf of Government), industry and consumers to pull new developments in materials, sensors and physical techniques through into the healthcare sector. However, there are serious barriers to adoption of new techniques, particularly in clinical practice. A major reason is the lack of understanding by physical scientists of the practical constraints to adoption of technology by clinicians. These include the whole process of clinical trials, including regulation, ethical approval, methodology and relations with volunteers. The aim of this KTA is, through development of collaborations and working relationships between physical scientists and clinicians, to provide a bridge across the clinical/non-clinical divide and thus facilitate the exploitation process of basic science and technology.The KTA will provide a pipeline into the existing North-East Regional commercialisation framework, which has recently been enhanced by the establishment of the Angel Alliance between the Universities of Durham and Newcastle and the Regional Development Agency, One-North East. We propose a regular programme of workshops to identify new collaborations, which will then be nurtured and managed by staff appointed within the KTA. As part of the Technology Transfer structures of the two universities, they will develop these relationships through the use of KT Fellows and Associates to condition the projects ready for external commercialisation. We will also develop the use of KTPs within the healthcare sector, particularly with NHS Trusts.

研究委员会（代表政府）、行业和消费者施加了巨大压力，要求将材料、传感器和物理技术的新发展引入医疗保健领域。然而，采用新技术存在严重障碍，特别是在临床实践中。一个主要原因是物理科学家对临床医生采用技术的实际限制缺乏了解。其中包括临床试验的整个过程，包括监管、伦理批准、方法论以及与志愿者的关系。该 KTA 的目标是，通过发展物理科学家和临床医生之间的合作和工作关系，架起一座跨越临床/非临床鸿沟的桥梁，从而促进基础科学和技术的开发过程。KTA 将为现有的东北地区商业化框架提供一条管道，最近杜伦大学和纽卡斯尔大学与区域发展机构 One-North East 之间建立天使联盟，该框架得到了加强。我们提议定期举办研讨会计划来确定新的合作，然后由 KTA 内任命的工作人员进行培育和管理。作为两所大学技术转让结构的一部分，他们将通过利用 KT 研究员和同事来发展这些关系，为项目做好外部商业化的准备。我们还将在医疗保健领域开发 KTP 的使用，特别是 NHS 信托基金。
