About Us
Local change, national impact
The Health Innovation Network brings together the 15 local health innovation networks across England.
Each health innovation network is fully embedded in its local health and research ecosystem, working closely with NHS, industry and academia, as well as voluntary, charity and social enterprises.
Through projects that support both local agendas and national ambitions, our work aims to improve population health outcomes, improve NHS productivity and drive economic growth in all parts of the country, ensuring that everyone benefits from innovation.
Locally, we deliver boots-on-the-ground innovation adoption support to health and care teams.
Nationally, we come together as the Health Innovation Network to share best practice, accelerate learning and deliver national spread of innovation at pace and scale.
Our collaboration ensures innovations, improvements and best practice benefit more patients, faster.
We transform lives through innovation by supporting health and social care teams to find, test and implement new solutions to the NHS’s greatest challenges, driving economic growth for the country.
