12 | 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 X: @dhiscotland www.dhi-scotland.com Republic of Ireland “The three Clinical Entrepreneurs appointed from the Republic of Ireland were winners of the Health Innovation Hub Ireland’s Clinical Innovation Award programme 2024. They received funding from Enterprise Ireland to explore the commercial opportunity of their innovative projects to solve unmet needs in healthcare at a global scale. In addition to this, and to best support the development of Irish Clinical Entrepreneurs, the Irish government through the Department of Health, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Enterprise Ireland, and the Health Service Executive have partnered with the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme (CEP). This opportunity afforded to the Irish representatives on the CEP will expedite their product and commercial development through world leading training, access to investors and commercial experts, and to grow an exceptional network of peer entrepreneurs, and business and clinical leaders. It is important that solutions developed by those who know and deal with the problems on a daily basis are given the best opportunity to succeed and deliver novel treatments to those who need them most.” Geraldine O’Flynn Clinical Innovation Programme Manager, Health Innovation Hub Ireland Dr Tanya Mulcahy National Director, Health Innovation Hub Ireland www.hih.ie
