dorset innovation hub
The hub is one of 4 newly designated Health Foundation Innovation Hubs in the
United Kingdom. The innovation hub hosted by University Hospitals Dorset is
overseen by a programme group of 13 partners: primary, community secondary and
social care, academia, innovation, research, economy, industry and with patient
and public involvement and engagement. Our small team support staff to use new
innovations to support patients and our service users. Our vision is to
establish the conditions to facilitate and sustain innovation adoption across
the Dorset ICS Dorset for the benefit of our patients and service users. The hub
draws on the respective partners experience and expertise as outlined by the
Health Foundation to focus on the adaptation of innovation to the local context,
using patient and public involvement and co-production principles to ensure that
the process takes account of and is sensitive to the needs of patients, staff,
existing culture and working practices
