| 11 Venture Studios from Crisis “Our partnership with the Clinical Entrepreneur Programme began in February 2022 with four Venture Studio entrepreneurs (Chantal, Joana, Laura & Maame Esi) pitching their innovation to Professor Tony Young before joining the sixth cohort of the programme and being selected from a pool of over 300 applicants. In doing so they became one the first group of people from outside the NHS to enrol on the programme. With access to 12 months of innovative learning, tools to support the development of ideas and a network of clinical entrepreneurs, the CEP was identified as an ideal opportunity for founders who had established an early-stage business idea.” Liz Choonara Interim Director of Enterprise and Innovation, Crisis www.crisis.org.uk/venturestudio LinkedIn:/company/venture-studio-from-crisis/ Twitter: /VSfromCrisis Scotland “The Digital Health & Innovation Centre (DHI), in partnership with Scottish Enterprise and NHS Scotland, are embarking on a second year with the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. Targeted at NHS employees from across NHS Scotland, Scottish Enterprise has funded 12 places on this year’s CEP. The DHI is leading the Scottish coordination group for the programme in collaboration with Scottish Enterprise, NHS Education Scotland, Scottish Health and Industry Partnership Group (SHIP), InnoScot Health and Scottish Government. The coordination group will support the Scottish candidates in their innovation journey and help them to identify Scottish support while providing networking and collaboration opportunities into the wider Scottish innovation and entrepreneurial landscape. By bringing together all the key organisations across the Scottish health and care landscape we have been able to coordinate and focus our efforts in supporting clinical entrepreneurs and recognising and investing in talented people who can actively contribute to improving and transforming our health and care services for the better. Partnering with the CEP is one way that we can provide a supportive and enabling environment to assist our entrepreneurs to achieve their full potential.” Professor George Crooks OBE Chief Executive Officer Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre, Scotland
