We work with the NHS, public sector, industry and voluntary sector organisations to develop solutions to health care problems; to innovate for the benefit of patients, the NHS, industry and the wider economy. Working with industry we can support business development and the uptake of new practices and technologies.

We aim to support the translation of our research into practice and to develop the capacity of individuals and organisations to innovate and seek health care improvements. Our specialist expertise in work-based learning means we can link innovation and improvement projects directly with the skills needed to carry them out.
