The Health Innovation Network has 10 years of experience and knowledge in generating growth for innovators. From the development of ideas to the adoption of innovations into the NHS, we have helped guide innovators, bringing benefits to patients, the NHS workforce, and our life sciences industry.
Since 2018 we have contributed £2.6bn to UK PLC through our support to innovators. For every £1 invested in the Network, there is a £2.81 return. More than 3.2 million patients have benefited from earlier diagnosis, more effective treatments, and faster recovery through our national programmes and initiatives. We have created or safeguarded more than 10,000 jobs in companies we’ve supported.
On this page you will find examples of how we have supported innovators.
If you wish to learn how we can help you take your innovation to the next level and beyond, please contact your local health innovation network.
