Embedding Innovation in the NHS: Patient, Practice and System Perspectives

This half-day workshop will bring together a diverse audience for lively debate and discussion about current practice in the UK’s health care innovation landscape. The workshop is a response to one of UCL’s current policy ‘grand challenges’ - understanding how innovation can be successfully embedded in the NHS and what learning can be applied from other sectors.

The workshop will bring together different communities of practice to share their knowledge and experience – innovators, NHS representatives, industry, academics and researchers, and those involved in policy. The format will be a mixture of panel discussions and guest speaker presentations, with time for wider group discussion and networking.

Confirmed speakers/contributors include:

- Charles Tallack, Head of NHS Operational Research and Evaluation

- Katherine Langford, Programme Lead Health and Social Care, The Innovation Unit

- Dr Liz Mear, Chief Executive, The Innovation Agency and Chair of the national AHSN Network

- Prof Naomi Fulop, Professor of Health Care Organisation and Management
