Innovation is an enabler to helping achieve some of the trust’s key objectives and to ensuring we remain at the forefront of advances to provide high quality care and the best outcomes for patients.
It belongs to all of us and needs to be embedded in our work every day to help meet some of the challenges we face.
Newcastle Hospitals is one of 10 ‘InSite’ test bed sites across the country for the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme, helping to develop and evaluate new solutions to benefit staff and patients.
The initiative also helps colleagues with the skills and experience to scale their most innovative ideas for the benefit of our patients, staff and the wider NHS.
Our clinical entrepreneurs are working to transform services and are developing innovations to support our young patients with sensory needs, those children and young people undergoing treatment for cancer, and adults with pelvic health problems.
