Innovate Healthier Together Programme
Launch of the Innovate Healthier Together Programme
Health Innovation West of England is working in partnership with Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Integrated Care Board (ICB) over the next 12 months to deliver an exciting new programme to accelerate the adoption and spread of innovation across, Healthier Together – the local Integrated Care System (ICS).
This programme will look at innovation through a broad lens; it could be a new way of working, a new idea, method or device. The ‘Innovate Healthier Together Programme’ will support the ICB in their ambitions to change lives and improve health, wellbeing and care for the populations they serve.
The programme has multiple objectives:
Setting up a network of innovation enthusiasts across the system, providing a space to come together, build a community, share knowledge and learn from one another in how to ensure innovations are adopted and spread successfully.
Engaging leaders from across ICS partner organisations, including non-executives, to build their capability and confidence to drive innovation across the Healthier Together system and share knowledge and expertise from other industries.
Designing a bespoke development programme to upskill colleagues in innovation principles to increase the innovation talent pool within the system.
Working with procurement teams with the aim of making it easier to adopt innovative solutions into the system.
Working with multi-partner ICS groups at both place level (Locality Partnerships) and system-wide to identify opportunities to bring innovations into practice.
The outcome of this work will be the development of a well-networked innovation community and a blueprint for accelerating innovation into services that positively impact the health of our population.
