Enabling healthcare innovations
Sir Bruce Keogh, NHS England’s medical director, has revealed the seventeen successful applicants to this year’s NHS Innovation Accelerator scheme, which aims to make evidenced healthcare innovations more widely available to patients.
The healthcare pioneers from the UK and abroad have been identified to receive national support to roll out their technologies, processes and models of care to patients, hospitals and GP practices throughout England.
This year’s fellows include a range of technologies including i-Thrive, a new model of needs-based mental health care for children and young people.
Sir Bruce said: “The NHS stands on the cusp of a revolution in innovation. At its heart, innovation is the will to better, to find solutions for existing needs or new problems through more effective products, processes, technology or even the way we deliver services. Today we increase the opportunity for improving patient care by creating new conditions for ideas to thrive.”
