Unlocking the Creative Mind – Putting Innovation into Practice

Health Innovation North West Coast is the Health Innovation Network for the North West Coast, which covers Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and South Cumbria with a population of around 4.1 million. We connect NHS organisations, local authorities, businesses, the third sector and academia to form collaborations which support innovations and improvements in health and care. We work with healthcare organisations and businesses to support the spread of all types of innovation within the NHS, from new technologies to ways of working and service improvements. We do this to improve services for patients, enable NHS efficiencies and support economic growth. In our region we have two integrated care boards, 21 NHS trusts, 11 local authorities and nine universities.
