HEALTH INNOV ATION NETWORK
Health Innovation Network: local change, national impact
The Health Innovation Network is the collective voice of the 15 local Health Innovation Networks across England, and together, we are the innovation adoption experts. The NHS requires ongoing support to accelerate
the adoption, pace and scale of proven innovations, enhancing outcomes for patients and the workforce. Commissioned by NHS England and the Government’s Office for Life Sciences, we transform lives through innovation by supporting local health systems to find, test and implement new solutions to the NHS’ greatest challenges whilst driving economic growth. Originally called Academic Health Science
Networks, each health innovation network is fully embedded in its local health and research ecosystem. This enables us to drive economic prosperity and growth in all parts of the country, ensuring everyone benefits from innovation. Since our inception in 2013, the Network has
delivered some major achievements: over 3.2m patients have benefited from innovation, and more than £2.6bn has been contributed to the UK economy through companies we’ve supported. Improving how we deliver and receive healthcare
in England today now rightly calls on small and medium-sized enterprises, local authorities, the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector, innovative individuals within the NHS workforce, and even patients, as well as ‘big pharma’ and academia, to source the best and brightest new ideas for improving patient care. Anyone with a great idea can become a health innovator, and innovating for the benefit of patients is everyone’s job. Our job at the Network is to ensure that these great ideas are discovered, developed appropriately and safely

deployed into the NHS. Our expert innovation support offer includes
everything from help to navigating the NHS, access to market studies and research, help with value proposition development, and real-world evaluation to implementation support and spread. Our experience shows that the most successful
innovation does not happen in isolation. Coalescing and coordinating the wide range of diverse skills, people and organisations needed to deliver ambitious innovation is a key function of the 15 local health innovation networks. From working with regulators to ensure quicker
validation for innovation in real-world settings, to ensuring the policy levers and incentives are in place for widespread uptake of new products and medicines, we are committed to fostering relationships across the ecosystem that will help make innovation easier for everyone to do. Such partnerships include: our work supporting
the NHS Innovation Service, a digital platform that helps innovators to access bespoke help from specialist organisations from across the health, innovation and business sectors; and our collaborative working agreement with NICE regulator, which seeks to see the most clinically and cost-effective approaches to care implemented and scaled up in the health and care system, through intelligence sharing. We also hold a unique position working on
behalf of both sides of health innovation: we want our health care system to benefit from the best innovations that industry has to offer, and support a thriving life sciences sector and an economy that benefits from their shared success. We prioritise
