| 13 Patient Entrepreneur Programme “We are extending a warm welcome to our Patient Entrepreneur Cohort this year. Patients and carers with lived experience of health conditions and using health services understand real world challenges and bring a unique perspective to identify innovative solutions to the issues that they, and many others, face in healthcare. We are excited to be sharing the benefits of the NHS CEP with a patient cohort for the first time and we have been delighted by the response to the 2024/25 pilot. Our Patient Entrepreneur cohort will receive the same educational content, support and access to resources as Clinical Entrepreneurs, but will also receive additional support from the Patient and Public involvement team in the Innovation, Research and Life Sciences unit at NHS England. We’re aiming to give participants insight into how the many areas of the NHS fit together and how they can grow their innovation, as well as demonstrate the benefit of patient-led innovations and encourage collaborative learning.” Alice Williams Head of Patient & Public Involvement Sophie Parslow Patient & Public Involvement Manager https://nhscep.com/pep/ [email protected] The NHS CEP is a unique opportunity, providing exceptional networking possibilities, access to prominent business leaders, and a wealth of educational lectures. It fosters innovation in healthcare by connecting budding entrepreneurs with industry experts and offering invaluable insights. Participants gain practical knowledge, expand their professional network, and receive guidance from successful entrepreneurs. This programme is a catalyst for transforming innovative healthcare ideas into reality, making it a must for aspiring healthcare innovators.
