At its heart, the programme is about empowering people with the potential to shape the future of healthcare. Lindsey Hughes Director of Research Innovation, Research and Life Sciences Strategy Group, NHS England Will Warburton Director of Life Sciences Policy and Strategy, Innovation, Research and Life Sciences Strategy Group, NHS England This year marks the programme’s 10th anniversary. Over the past ten years, it has built a thriving community of innovators, bringing together exceptional talent and promising ideas from across health and care, including NHS staff, and more recently patients, whose lived experience and frontline insight continue to shape meaningful change. The programme exists to identify, nurture and accelerate talent, helping individuals turn ideas into solutions that improve care, reduce inequalities and strengthen the sustainability of services. Through access to expert support, skills and networks, it enables innovators to move their solutions from concept to real-world impact across the health system and beyond. We warmly welcome this year’s Clinical and Patient Entrepreneurs and congratulate all those who have completed the programme to date.
