| Aims: | Shine is The Health Foundation's new annual award focusing on innovation. Each year they will be looking for ideas that tackle a key challenge to high quality care. We all want the best health service and many of us have ideas about how to improve it, but good ideas only become good practice when there’s an opportunity to develop, test and gather evidence to support them. |
|---|---|
| Description: | The Health Foundation are looking for examples of smart thinking from across the health service. For their part, they will provide the resource to make it happen, ensure that successful innovations receive national recognition and promote the most effective innovations to policy-makers and NHS leaders. They are looking to invest in 18 teams from across the health service: commissioning, primary care, acute care, mental health and beyond. They are seeking people with the best innovative ideas and the skills to put together an innovations trial to develop and test that thinking. This year’s Shine challenge is: find new approaches to delivering healthcare that will both improve quality and save money (Please see the website for further information). The best ideas will go beyond the well-tried approaches to improving efficiency and instead, will use radical innovation to deliver better outcomes through different inputs and processes. They are looking for highly innovative approaches to delivering high quality healthcare more efficiently. During the course of the 12 months, teams will be supported to put their approach into practice for the first time and gather the evidence about its impact and effectiveness. |
