Explained in plain English

How does the NHS adopt new tech?

The NHS often trials new medical technologies to see if they're effective and good value before rolling them out widely. This brain tumour test is currently in a trial phase, meaning it's being tested in a controlled way to gather evidence. If successful, it could become a standard part of care across the country.
