Innovate Healthier Together Fellowship Launch Event

Join us for the launch of the Innovate Healthier Together (IHT) Fellowship, a community to reimagine health and care in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) – the go-to community for new and existing healthcare innovators.

The IHT Fellowship will provide a space where health and care professionals across all disciplines have time to remove themselves from the operational pressures of their roles to think creatively, be inspired, make connections and embrace opportunities to reimagine how we deliver health and care services to the BNSSG population.

This will also be a space where innovators who are looking for support to enter the health and care marketplace and who have ideas, products and services that address NHS and social care priority needs can talk with academics, researchers, health and care experts and decision makers.

Event Chair: Professor Sir Steve West, Vice-Chancellor, UWE

Doors open and networking from 1pm. Event starts 1:30pm.

Why should you attend?

Connect with people with an enthusiasm for innovation

Hear about research undertaken on current attitudes and culture of innovation in BNSSG

Co-design a road map for collaboration across the Fellowship – actively translating ideas into action.
