Evidence into Practice 2024

Applications closed on 14 June 2024 for this year’s Evidence into Practice call.

From the 20 high-quality applications received, we have selected the outpatient hypertension pathway for women and birthing people at high risk of developing hypertension in pregnancy, developed by Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Providing enhanced care to women at high risk of hypertension during pregnancy, this innovative service empowers them to keep healthy and well at home using an automated text messaging system.

As well as providing better care for women and their unborn babies, the pathway has been shown to offer welcome benefits for patients by reducing the financial cost and physical impact of travelling into hospital for frequent appointments.

What is Evidence into Practice?

Following on from the success of our previous Evidence into Practice calls, Health Innovation West of England is once again offering comprehensive support to spread evidenced-based innovations that improve the health of people in the West of England.

Previous projects supported by the Evidence into Practice programme include the award-winning PReCePT, PERIPrem, SHarED and PreciSSIon.

Watch this short video of Dr Rebecca Thorpe, project lead for SHarED (Supporting High impact users in Emergency Departments), talking about her experience of being selected for the Evidence into Practice call in 2019 and the support she received from us to spread SHarED across the West of England.
