CANCELLED: Innovation in the NHS
Date and time
Location
Durham County Cricket Club
Emirates Riverside Chester-le-Street DH3 3QR United KingdomDescription
Have you or your colleagues got a real issue with something at work? Piece of kit? Service? Process? How do you know if it’s unique to your organisation? How can you quantify and evidence the problem? How do you create or identify a robust solution?
Together with Medipex, we are hosting an interactive workshop which covers the early stages of the innovation process; through group exercises and working together we will explore:
-
What are the benefits and barriers to innovation in the NHS?
-
How can we identify and describe unmet clinical needs?
-
Which methods can we use to develop robust solutions to problems?
-
In what ways can we share these ideas to achieve patient benefit?
-
How and why should we protect our Intellectual Property?
-
Where can we access support to evaluate and develop our ideas?
This practical workshop is suitable for staff in any NHS role who has an interest in improving services to increase efficiency and deliver patient benefit.

Organised by
The Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC) is dedicated to improving healthcare and supporting wealth creation through partnership working and promotion of innovation across the NHS, Academia and Industry.
With a remit to provide system-wide integration, we facilitate interactions with multiple partner organisations across the region. Principally we work with the NHS Trusts, CCGs and Universities which form our core membership, and we collaborate closely with many other stakeholder groups. We support the inclusive, collegiate approaches that are needed to address shared problems at a system level.
Wealth Creation and Health Improvement have a common requirement for innovation. HI NEC supports all aspects of innovation across healthcare from creating a culture that supports the innovation through to the dissemination and adoption of effective practice and proven technologies.
We have therefore achieved the regional reach and the local buy-in that is necessary to deliver cross-organisational programmes to improve health and create wealth in the region.
