Submit an Innovation

There are 15 Health Innovation Networks across England, established by NHS England in 2013 to spread innovation at pace and scale – improving health and generating economic growth. The innovator support service is designed to help innovators understand what the NHS challenges are and connect you to the help you need. The Networks are innovation brokers – we don’t deliver all the support ourselves – but we can help you to connect and find the right assistance for you. By helping to understand the NHS needs and navigate the system we aim to transform patient care and deliver economic growth.
