We are a team of clinicians including Consultants, GP’s, and nurses with extensive experience across clinical specialties and services.

We bridge the gap between innovation and clinical practice, grounding innovations in evidence, and disseminating knowledge for improvement.

We identify critical requirements for successful implementation, offer realistic perspectives, and ensure user-centred design principles through clinician feedback. We utilise data analytics to inform decision-making and evaluate innovation effectiveness at every stage.

Putting patients first, we provide an independent NHS perspective to help industry partners understand and respond to the potential implications of new products and services on care pathways and break down barriers to support the adoption and spread of innovation in health and care settings – reducing the costs of implementation and maximising the benefits for patients and staff.

Our approach revolves around three core pillars:

Clinical Insight:

• Clearly identify problems, understand innovations and their practical applications, and ensure appropriate clinical input during solution development.
• Identify critical requirements for successful delivery, offering ambitious yet realistic perspectives while navigating system pressures and competing demands.

Clinical Engagement and Participation:

• Communicate the purpose, goals, and potential benefits of innovations clearly, fostering collaborative partnerships and securing clinician endorsement.
• Facilitate collaboration with various stakeholders, including industry partners, data analysts, and designers, to address training and support needs for innovation adoption.

Clinical Governance:

• Maintain a quality and safety focus throughout the innovation life cycle, assessing innovations against clinical standards and guidelines.
• Advocate for the highest standards of patient safety, quality of care, and user experience, ensuring appropriate system engagement through governance structures.
