Home Health and care provider

We connect with those working at the forefront of health and care to encourage innovation from within the system. We help health and care practitioners to identify the challenges they are facing and match them with a solution to address their challenge and meet local system priorities.

Access to proven innovations: improving patient care and enabling efficiencies.

We can help identify and implement the best innovations in health and care. We can help you focus on evidence backed programmes to meet the needs of your patients.

We deliver the roll out of nationally driven programmes, including patient safety programmes, healthcare inequalities initiatives and innovations selected by NHS England as part of the MedTech Funding Mandate. We are a trusted partner to the NHS and as the innovation arm of the NHS in the East of England and we can support you to adopt and spread proven innovations and help deliver a lasting legacy for health and care across our region.

Clinical entrepreneurs

We also know that a great ideas can take many forms and some of the best ideas come from those who are working directly in health and care:

It can be an innovative new product or way of working
It can be a process used consistently
It can involve using an existing product in a new way
It can be a group or a network
It can be taking something that works elsewhere and introducing it somewhere new
It is often a combination of all the above

As we live in the largest life sciences cluster in Europe and have brilliant health and care practitioners, we also want our community to benefit from both creating better health outcomes and more prosperity by enabling clinical teams to share their views with innovators and vice versa.

As the innovation arm of the NHS in the East of England, we have proven experience accelerating and driving innovations to scale within the NHS, find out more about our consultancy and advisory work here.

We encourage partners and stakeholders to work together to support clinical entrepreneurs with ideas to transform health and care. If you have an idea, please check our page for innovators to find out how we can support you.

Patient safety

Innovation should never come at the price of patient safety. At Health Innovation East we host the Eastern Patient Safety Collaborative (PSC), tasked with embedding the National Patient Safety Improvement Programmes (NatPatSIPs) across our region.

Our patient safety team is funded and co-ordinated by NHS England to play a critical role in identifying and spreading safer care initiatives across our region.

We do this by working across acute, non-acute and community settings to quickly share and spread evidence-based practices, products and tools.
