New HISES website provides digital gateway to help accelerate regional innovation ambitions
Health Innovation South East Scotland (HISES) has launched a new website that is designed to help innovators, clinicians, researchers and partner organisations connect, collaborate, and access support
InnoScot Health has welcomed the launch of the new platform, describing it as “an exciting portal, allowing a range of users to discover more about health innovation initiatives happening across the region, while actively encouraging and accelerating them through progressive partnerships”.
The site features a new interactive ‘Innovation Framework’ that guides users through every stage of the innovation journey—from idea generation to implementation—alongside explaining Scotland’s ‘Innovation Hub Model’ that shows how NHS organisations, academia, industry and communities can work together to deliver innovation impact.
Visitors can also explore a searchable ‘Innovation Projects Library’, discover funding and collaboration opportunities, and access resources from across the region's innovation ecosystem.
HISES says the site aims to turn “ideas into impact for patients, services and communities across Scotland”.
Senior Innovation Programme Manager at HISES, Samantha Smith-Garrett said: “This website represents much more than a digital refresh. It is a front door to South East Scotland's health innovation ecosystem and a practical resource for anyone looking to develop, test, adopt or spread innovation within health and care.
“Ultimately, our ambition is simple: to help more innovations reach patients and services faster, improve outcomes, and strengthen Scotland's position as a leading environment for health and care innovation."
Innovation Commercialisation Manager at InnoScot Health, Fiona Schaefer said: “This forward-thinking digital gateway supports innovation ambitions and builds on strengths across NHS Lothian, NHS Fife and NHS Borders.
“It helps innovators, clinicians, researchers, and industry partners to navigate often challenging hurdles to success, alongside signposting relevant expertise and resources.”
