Made Well Collective
The new way to collaborate on, co-fund and reuse digital technology in the NHS.
Made Tech’s digital health delivery principles
We want to change the way digital partners collaborate with health and social care organisations. We’re working with health and social care to:
Co-funding made easier
Health and care organisations face similar patient needs. This offers opportunities to pool resources and funds to build the same thing once, rather than many times over.
We want to connect trusts and organisations at the funding stage to share – and therefore reduce – costs for everyone.
Faster co-delivery
We have a wealth of experience working in blended, rainbow teams with our clients and other suppliers. Our one-team approach will help you deliver technology products that meet everyone’s needs – including those of your users, while saving each organisation money.
We help organisations establish skilled digital teams so they can manage and extend products once they’re live.
Reuse by default
We believe that when a digital product is funded with public money, it should be available for the whole NHS to reuse, remix and adapt. We promote sharing and reuse under Open Standards Principles so that the benefits can be shared with everyone.
Our vision is to help build a library of home-grown NHS and care technology that can be shared freely, without vendor lock-in.

How does it work?
We enable collaboration, making it easier for you to deliver great services to your patients. Our approach is to bring together like-minded people who can co-fund joint products that bring about meaningful improvement.
To kickstart the co-funding stage of your project, we:
- help you find like-minded peers to work with on a shared need and solution
- organise alignment sessions to agree on needs, gaps and ways of working
- work with the whole team to design the best collaborative approach for your needs
To accelerate successful delivery and embed skills within your teams, we:
- choose people with extensive experience working in blended teams, who can guide you through a rapid delivery development process
- work to GDS and NHS service standards, with extensibility and re-use in mind, so products are safe and compliant, meeting national standards
- upskill your people to make sure you’re in the best position for future iteration and delivery
To make sure collaboration works for everyone involved, we:
- provide playbooks, runbooks and support material to make the end product free and simple to reuse by other NHS organisations
- encourage the sharing of built products to achieve the greatest reach, and therefore greatest saving for the NHS
- encourage customisation and extension of the products – with no vendor lock-in your teams can tailor each product if required
