| 65 NHS Innovation Accelerator The NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) is an NHS England Initiative delivered in partnership with the country’s 15 Health Innovation Networks (HINs) and the Accelerated Access Collaborative. Hosted by UCLPartners, it supports delivery of the Five Year Forward View by accelerating uptake of high impact innovations for patient, population and NHS staff benefit, and providing real time practical insights on spread to inform national strategy. The NIA currently supports 53 NIA Fellows representing 53 innovations, with an additional 84 Alumni. Fellows supported by the NIA all share a set of values and passion for scaling evidence-based innovation to benefit a wider population, with a commitment to share their learnings. Some impressive results have been achieved by Fellows since the NIA launched in July 2015: 3,382 additional NHS sites now using NIA innovations; over £229 million in external funds secured; 229 awards won; and 1,170 jobs created. In addition, impact data is already available at adopter sites and this demonstrates earlier intervention, reductions in complications and emergency admissions, alongside cost savings. www.nhsaccelerator.com LinkedIn: /company/nhs-innovation-accelerator/ Small Business Research Institute SBRI Healthcare accelerates innovations in the NHS and the wider health and social care system, tackling unmet health and care needs.
