Putting your needs first
If you use NHS services, have a medical condition, or face health-related challenges, we can help your voice to be heard in the NHS.
It’s so important for your experience to influence the work of researchers, innovators and clinicians. With your input, we can make more of a difference to everyone’s healthcare.
Get involved in innovation
For innovation to succeed, it makes sense for it to be created in collaboration with the people set to benefit from it – the patients.
It’s our priority to involve and co-produce with patients, the public, carers and communities – particularly the marginalised or seldom listened to – as we seek to bring in diverse perspectives and listen to the experiences and insights of people at the heart of everything we do.
Our programmes
All heath innovation networks are working to deliver a number of national adoption and spread programmes, which help to improve care and address challenges faced by people like you.
Current areas of focus for us include cardiovascular disease, respiratory, maternity and neonatal, mental health and wound care – particularly in areas of greatest population need and where there is inequity in health outcomes.
Find out more about current programmes by visiting our programmes page.
