NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA)
The NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) supports faster uptake and spread of high impact, evidence-based innovations across England’s NHS, benefitting patients, populations and NHS staff. An NHS England initiative delivered in partnership with England’s 15 Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs), this national accelerator has a unique dual focus on personal development for individuals (‘Fellows’) and bespoke support to spread an innovation. As of September 2018, the NIA has successfully supported 36 Fellows representing 37 innovations.
