Manifesto 2024

We have launched our Manifesto for 2024.  Please see below for details:

NHS Tayside Innovation Manifesto: What we do: We aim to stimulate creative and innovative thinking and support the adoption of innovation across the health service. We can offer guidance to those in NHS Tayside with novel ideas by offering advice, qualification and verification of when, how and why something is innovative, exploring the potential for translation into real world applications. We provide a doorway into NHS Tayside for industry, academia and other sectors, facilitating connections across a wide range of departments to support feasibility studies, prototype development and product testing. We support ideas that use medical technology to address challenges in healthcare delivery. What we offer: We are a one stop shop for innovation. Our team offer specialist advice and support via comprehensive knowledge, experience and skills in all the aspects of the innovation journey, providing leadership and project management services. We collaborate with colleagues in the University of Dundee, Health Informatics Centre, the Chief Scientist Office (CSO) and associated Regional Innovation Hubs, industry partners, and national organisations that support innovation, business and scaling up. We can facilitate networking within the local and national innovation ecosystem. We are part of the Tayside Innovation Medtech Ecosystem (TIME), a partnership between NHS Tayside and the University of Dundee that will offer a vibrant community for healthcare innovation to flourish. Our core values: • Putting Patients First – keeping improvements in healthcare that will benefit patients at the heart of everything we do
