Innovation Pathway

Are you an SME or innovator looking to expand into the NHS and care sector?

Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC) is working with SMEs and innovators based in the North East and North Cumbria to access specialist support to help them market their products to the NHS and care sectors.

The Innovation Pathway is central to the HI NENC providing a robust structure and process to best support innovation into health and social care.

The Innovation Pathway breaks down the journey of an innovation and is supported at each stage by both internal HI NENC functions and support offered via the wider North East health ecosystem.

HI NENC work closely with partners, stakeholders, regional and national networks to ensure that your innovation receives the best and most appropriate support possible. As an organisation, they support innovators, academics, and businesses every step of the way.

Whether an individual or a team, NHS led or a business, innovators from all backgrounds and sectors can access the expertise of the AHSN NENC.

They can support you to drive and champion innovation and adoption, as well as, where appropriate, to grow your business.

The Innovation Pathway enables companies to access NHS expertise to grow their business and we offer bespoke services covering the entire innovation life cycle, from conception of an idea through to its eventual realisation of commercial success and patient benefit.
