12 news Bucks to support innovation in healthcare
Bucks New University has become the new host of an organisation dedicated to
developing ideas to improve the
experiences of NHS patients and the quality
and effectiveness of services they receive.
The Thames Valley Health Innovation and Education Cluster (HIEC) will be hosted by Bucks New University until the end of March 2013. The Cluster was set up in April 2010 to ensure that enterprising and innovative ideas that promote patient safety and clinical effectiveness make their way into working practice as soon as possible.
The University was one of the founding members of the HIEC, which brings together a range of NHS Foundation Trusts and Primary Care Trusts, universities, district and county councils, and other organisations. It will now become the ‘legal host’ for the
HIEC and will provide back-office services such as finance and HR support. The University will also have responsibility for ensuring that the contractual compliance and governance requirements of the organisation are met.
Prof David Sines CBE, pro vice chancellor and executive dean: Society & Health, at Bucks New University, said: “We have a long tradition of working with the very best partners to influence, inspire and nurture talent for the diffusion of innovative ideas and solutions that promote clinical excellence, safeguard patients, and enable the delivery of responsive educational solutions for the benefit of the health and social care workforce and the wider community.
“Innovation in healthcare is of benefit to everyone – patients, their friends, carers and families, and the many nurses and healthcare professionals that we educate. It is entirely fitting for us to support the HIEC in encouraging the adoption and dissemination of good ideas across the Thames Valley region.”

The HIEC focuses on four main areas: integrated services; patient safety; care closer to home; and capacity and capability development. A particular focus for the coming months will be working with GPs on the design and implementation of care pathways – enhancing opportunities for the provision of care closer to home for defined groups of patients.
David Doughty, chair of the Thames Valley HIEC, said: “We are delighted that Bucks New University is hosting the Thames Valley HIEC. Our aim
