Empowering NHS workforce with innovation learnings
Providing vital education
It is vital that we build a healthcare ecosystem that harnesses the talent, expertise and commitment of the NHS workforce, and encourages entrepreneurs to flourish. Part of this is providing education on key innovation topics, promoting knowledge exchange and collaboration across the sector and spotlighting home-grown success stories.
Launch of webinar series
Recognising webinars as an accessible, growing form of engagement, InnoScot Health launched a series of webinars in early 2023. Held on Microsoft Teams, the bitesize sessions explored key innovation topics and provided an opportunity to hear from knowledgeable speakers across the sector.
The primary aim was to increase knowledge around subjects ranging from navigating the innovation landscape to funding, regulatory and intellectual property advice, commercialisation and topical issues such as entrepreneurship, while providing an educational resource which the NHS Scotland workforce could return to.
Insightful topics
A wealth of insightful topics have been explored, attracting a diverse range of guest speakers.
Alongside developing content and topics that are interesting to the innovation community, central to success of the webinar series is working with speakers to promote the sessions. To maximise profile and attendance, the InnoScot Health team prepare news articles, social assets, monthly newsletter and engage stakeholders in sharing content with their staff and communities.
The webinar series has been positively received with valuable support from NHS Board communication teams enabling reach across the NHS workforce. With growing audiences and more diverse topics being added, the series continues to deliver through 2024 and 2025.
Our aim is for the series to be a very instructive, easily accessible, and interactive resource for healthcare innovators at all stages who are considering how best to deliver great ideas into patients’ hands.
