| 15 Patient Entrepreneur Programme “We are extending a warm welcome to our second cohort of Patient Entrepreneurs. Patients and carers with lived experience of health conditions and 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. Our Patient Entrepreneur cohort will receive the same educational content, support and access to resources as Clinical Entrepreneurs, and 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.
