20. What are limitations?
Failure of the science – innovation must fail sometimes
Refusal to stop fire-fighting pressures on healthcare
Failure to see or take the opportunities!
Failure to choose the most effective diagnostics or treatments
Failure to educate healthcare staff, health managers and the public that these new innovations are beneficial
Failure to engage MDTs to embrace new ways of working “at the coalface”

21. What are the enablers? Using our imagination and experience
Getting the scientific evidence
Working across ALL boundaries
Across specialities
Across disciplines
Across primary/secondary care
Across pure and translational research
Listening to the WHOLE team
Looking at the problems from the PATIENT viewpoint
