To help connect and bolster regional activities of organisations and individuals working in the health and care space, we are exploring the design and development of digital tools and platforms to support the connection of key stakeholders within, across and beyond the NENC region.
A number of partner organisations across NENC already have well supported ’Innovation Pathways’. Our work is exploring how further digital support might help to connect and bolster the activities of companies, local authorities, NHS Trusts, University researchers and members of the VCSE sector and other innovators.
Our design and prototyping process involves active collaboration and dialogue with the community and end users to better understand what kinds of tools and services best fit regional needs.
This work is being led by Rob Wilson (Northumbria University) and Dave Kirk (Newcastle University). Supported by: Dave Belshaw (Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria), Rob Anderson and Peter Glick (Newcastle University).
