The impact phase in the innovation journey comes through change. At this stage, the quality of the implementation and continued building of your evidence base will help the adoption and spread of the innovation to sustain its use and support wider spread for system-wide/patient benefit.

There are 15 health innovation networks across England, established by NHS England in 2013 to spread innovation at pace and scale – improving health and generating economic growth. Find out more about how the Health Innovation Network can help you and read our case studies of successful high impact innovations across our health and care system.
