Clinical priorities

We support innovation across all areas of the NHS, helping teams test, shape and spread solutions that solve real problems and improve patient safety, experience and outcomes.

Our main focus currently is on three key clinical areas: maternity and neonatal, mental health, and respiratory. These present many challenges – and also significant opportunities to make changes to improve care.

We work with our partners in the NHS, industry and universities to identify, develop and support adoption of evidence-based innovations which address unmet health needs and help to build an NHS fit for the future.
