A VP MED Group Practice

Closing the gap between
regulatory approval
and clinical adoption.

Accelerate is VP MED Group's strategic practice for MedTech innovators. We help founders, engineers and the investors backing them turn validated technology into adopted technology — faster.

The Adoption Chasm

Great MedTech doesn’t fail in the lab.
It fails in the hospital.

75%
of MedTech startups fail.

Not because the technology is wrong, but because the adoption strategy is.

Between regulatory approval and clinical adoption sits a chasm that destroys more MedTech value than any other single factor. Founders build excellent products and then stall at the moment hospitals, clinicians and procurement teams need to say yes.

Clinical evidence alone does not drive adoption. Behavioural, economic and operational forces matter equally — and most teams discover this too late, after runway has been spent on the wrong things.

Accelerate is the practice that maps the chasm and walks founders across it.

What We Do

Three proprietary frameworks.
One adoption mission.

Built inside VP MED Group — a UK MedTech distributor and education business with over two decades of operational experience inside the adoption ecosystem.

MAP

10-Phase Acceleration Pathway

A structured methodology that takes a technology from concept validation through to market-entry execution — with defined deliverables and decision gates at every phase.

Fuel + Friction

Adoption Workshop

A facilitated session that surfaces the clinical, commercial and behavioural forces shaping adoption — and converts them into a prioritised action plan.

Diagnostic Framework

Our proprietary lens for understanding why promising technologies stall between validation and use — and what it takes to cross.
