Horizon scanning for new innovations
Each year we undertake horizon scanning to identify current unmet demands that can be tackled by innovation . We organise innovation exchange webinars for the NHS across our region , which enables our team to support innovators and showcase their solutions to the health system , as well as providing valuable insight in the art of the possible .
By using the data in our innovation pipeline as well as that of the wider Health Innovation Network , we carry out horizon scans and run events and workshops that bring together proven innovations to address and explore specific needs and challenges .
These incoming requests from the NHS include asks for strategic planning , supporting the case for
51 Transforming Lives Through Innovation
change , procurements , market horizon scanning , due diligence , and support with funding where appropriate .
We have a clear purpose for these activities :
• Kick-start focused discussions on delivering innovation .
• Provide our innovator and NHS stakeholders with valuable insights .
