One of the aims of the Innovation Hub is to support West Yorkshire to develop and foster their culture of innovation and improvement whilst highlight areas of best practise and helping to deliver on the systems innovation goals. Within the Innovation Hub, we host the Digital Primary Care Innovation Hub, who have recently undertaken an unmet demands workshop in primary care. There is still time for colleagues to have their say on this. The Innovation Hub is here to support all colleagues across the West Yorkshire area. If you wish to find out more about the Innovation Hub, or discuss how we could support you, please contact us at wyhinnovationhub
Here are just some of the innovation projects that we have been working on:
-
In partnership with South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership ICSs, Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network (AHSN) has established two Innovation Hubs within the Yorkshire and Humber region. These Hubs strengthen links between the ICSs and AHSN, allowing them to collectively develop a deep understanding of local needs and priorities which could be addressed through innovation. Through working together and best utilising the organisation’s respective roles and expertise it permits greater co-production of solutions and faster adoption of innovation.
