About the Innovation Hub
The South Yorkshire Innovation Hub is embedded within the South Yorkshire Health and Care System and is part of Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber. This enables us to facilitate collaboration between innovators, researchers, health and care organisations, local authorities, voluntary and community groups to accelerate the widespread adoption of cutting-edge health and care innovations.
Our work
- We build strong partnerships across the South Yorkshire Health And Care System and create the right infrastructure to enable innovative solutions to flourish.
- We identify, test and evaluate health and care innovations to ensure they benefit both patients and the system.
- We facilitate collaboration between innovators, researchers, health and care organisations, local authorities, voluntary and community groups to accelerate the widespread adoption of cutting-edge health and care innovations.
- We find and secure funding and investment opportunities that support health and care research, spread innovation and stimulate economic growth across the region.
We can do this because we are embedded within the South Yorkshire health and care system and are part of Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber, enabling us to tap into their expertise and extensive network.
About Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber
Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber is one of 15 health innovation networks set up by NHS England to operate as the innovation arm of the NHS.
Across the country health innovation networks act as a bridge between health care providers, commissioners, academia and industry. By connecting these sectors, we help to build a pipeline of solutions for the NHS from research and product development through to implementation and commercialisation.
Locally we work with our regional health and care community to develop projects, programmes and initiatives that reflect the diversity and meet the needs of our local populations and healthcare challenges.
We understand the needs of our health systems and are well placed to broker innovative solutions, while collaborating with health innovation networks across England to take what works best and quickly spread it nationally.
At Health Innovation Yorkshire & Humber we believe in the power of new ideas to improve lives and our ambition is to work together with all our partners to make life better for the people in our region by improving their health and care and by creating a thriving economy for everyone.
