NHS London's Regional Innovation Fund support

Innovation Unit is supporting projects funded by NHS London’s Regional Innovation Fund (RIF). Fifteen innovation projects from across London’s NHS are developing innovative services that can improve health outcomes while reducing costs. Innovation Unit is drawing on the range of its capabilities to provide tailored support to individual projects as well as shared events and seminars.

NHS London’s RIF projects range from Buddy – an online tool to support people with poor mental health – to NeuroResponse, which provides remote support to both people with MS and their clinicians. The needs of these projects range from business planning and communications to connecting with the right commissioners, investors and experts to develop their work, through to leadership coaching.

We are working with these projects on an individual basis to provide bespoke support based around their needs. We are also developing an event for the summer, building on its successful Festival of Ideas. The event will bring the projects together with commissioners of services and policy-makers to showcase their work, helping them to find opportunities to develop and grow their projects.
