We lead, facilitate and develop opportunities for digital innovation through our work in digital research and development, creating new innovative products, technologies and services solving both existing problems and unmet needs.
The Digital Innovation Unit is a small team of skilled experienced professionals whose drive and passion adds value and achieves better health outcomes for patients through innovative digital technology and solutions.
As an NHS organisation we make no profit, with all returns invested back into NHS innovation.
Around two thirds of our work is national for NHS England on high-profile strategic prevention programmes. The remaining third is diversely spread across a range of regions and organisations – such as integrated care boards (ICBs) and provider organisations. We also do research and development (R&D).
Our wide range of knowledge, skills and expertise include:
We offer a unique blend of flexible services, with ability to cover broader specialisms collaborating with other subject matter experts from across NHS Midlands and Lancashire, including business intelligence, information management and technology, clinical and so on.
Our services are easy to access – we are part of the NHS and on all the main procurement frameworks.
