Identifying new innovations for our healthcare system

In 2024-25, we delivered 28 horizon scans, showcasing 350 high-impact, proven innovations that support NHS priorities and address specific healthcare challenges for the three Integrated Care Systems in our region.
Each year, we provide bespoke horizon scanning and demand signalling activities for NHS partners across the region. This work enables our team to identify, validate, and showcase high-impact innovations.
By leveraging our comprehensive innovation pipeline and that of the wider Health Innovation Network, we develop targeted horizon scan outputs and consolidate proven innovations to address specific healthcare challenges. This approach ensures that NHS partners have access to evidencebased, scalable solutions that can drive meaningful change.
These requests come from a range of stakeholders and organisations and support strategic planning, building the case for change, procurement processes, market assessments, due diligence, and funding opportunities, and ensure that innovations are implemented effectively and sustainably within the healthcare system.
