| 11 Venture Studios from Crisis “We’re delighted to be entering the third year of our partnership with the Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. From February 2022, where Venture Studio entrepreneurs were the first group of people from outside the NHS to enrol on the programme, our collaboration with CEP has gone from strength to strength. Now, eight of our entrepreneurs have now proudly joined the CEP. In providing access to opportunities, innovative learning, and network of fellow Clinical Entrepreneurs, the CEP breaks down the barriers that too often exclude people with lived experience of homelessness from entrepreneurship and to succeed in bringing their ideas to life. For Crisis, this work is integral to our mission; providing our founders with the freedom to explore opportunities to elevate their businesses and reach their potential – with dignity and pride.” Liz Choonara Director of Commerce and Enterprise, Crisis www.crisis.org.uk/venturestudio LinkedIn: /company/venture-studio-from-crisis/ X: /VSfromCrisis Scotland “The Digital Health & Innovation Centre (DHI), in partnership with Scottish Enterprise and NHS Scotland, are embarking on a third year with the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme. Targeted at NHS employees from across NHS Scotland, Scottish Enterprise are supporting the 8 successful Scottish candidates for this year. 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. By linking this programme with other national clinical leadership programmes in Scotland we are seeking to create an environment where, leadership, entrepreneurship and clinical excellence can thrive and grow. 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 and expand their horizons.” Professor George Crooks Chief Executive Officer, Digital Health & Care Innovation Centre www.dhi-scotland.com X: @dhiscotland
