Discover the opportunities for innovation

NHS England are seeking innovations with the potential to transform care in high priority clinical areas and make a positive impact for large communities.

Clinical experts within NHS England, working alongside NICE, have collectively identified the areas of greatest opportunity, based on need in high priority clinical areas with consideration towards the areas likely to have the greatest impact per patient and the likelihood of adoption.

To help drive the development of innovations likely to have the greatest impact on patient care, new areas of need will continue to be identified and signalled here.

If you have an innovation that meets that need, create an NHS Innovation Service account and fill in your innovation record to start receiving support for the innovation.
