We are delighted to publish the Innovation for Healthcare Inequalities Programme (InHIP) impact and learning report.
NHS England’s InHIP programme is a collaboration between the Accelerated Access Collaborative (AAC), NHS England’s National Healthcare Inequalities Improvement Programme and the Health Innovation Network, delivered in partnership with integrated care systems (ICSs).
It aims to address local healthcare inequalities experienced by deprived and other under-served populations.
Project teams (comprising of clinical and non-clinical expertise) from across the country are working together with their local communities to identify, address and minimise healthcare inequalities through projects to improve access to the latest health technologies and medicines.
These technologies and medicines are focused on five clinical areas of priority that closely align with the national Core20PLUS5 approach to reducing healthcare inequalities, which includes maternity, mental health, respiratory, cancer diagnosis and cardiovascular disease.
As highlighted in the report, over 34,000 people from underserved groups or deprived areas have benefitted from InHIP Wave 1 interventions, with around 8,000 patients gaining access to an innovative product on a treatment pathway.
Over 1,200 project sites were able to deliver a new pathway and / or innovation to patients. Almost 4,000 patients had broader health needs identified that resulted in them being referred on to additional services beyond the original core project focus.
