Professor Andrew Morris CBE PMedSci, president of Academy of Medical Sciences, said: “Quantum sensing could transform how we detect and diagnose disease by enabling earlier intervention in conditions that are difficult to diagnose, offering less invasive alternatives to current tests and helping move care out of hospitals and into the community. This £2billion investment signals real ambition to turn the potential of quantum into practice and aligns directly with the important shift towards prevention and early detection at the heart of the NHS 10 Year Health Plan for England.
“Getting this right means developing quantum technologies in partnership with the clinicians and patients who will use them, so that innovation is guided by real health needs, not technology for its own sake. The Academy’s recent quantum sensing report sets out principles to make this happen – because investment at this scale must deliver real improvements for patients across the UK.”
