45: How to sustain innovation in the NHS

It’s fantastic to create an innovation and get it into practice with support from innovation systems and startup funding; but how is it sustained beyond its initial launch? In this episode we hear how two innovators have been supported and how national innovation schemes are helping them to accelerate their adoption and spread. In conversation with Caroline Kenyon are Konrad Dobschuetz of the NHS Innovation Accelerator and UCLPartners; Antoinette Honegan of Muther Tongue; and Piyush Mahapatra of Open Medical. The episode was recorded at NHS ConfedExpo 2023 following a theatre session.Useful links:NHS Innovation Accelerator: https://nhsaccelerator.com/NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme: https://nhscep.com/Open Medical Ltd: https://www.openmedical.co.uk/Muther Tongue: https://www.muthertongue.co.uk/Find your local AHSN:  https://www.ahsnnetwork.com/about-us/your-local-ahsn
