New report explores innovation adoption in Wessex hospitals

We have produced a new report, which looks at the experiences of five acute trusts when adopting innovation, and how they made these innovations work in their trusts.

The report includes listing factors which help innovation be adopted into complex, busy acute hospital trusts.

The NHS response to Covid-19 has seen an increase in innovation. In the year preceding Covid-19, we (Wessex AHSN) worked with five of our member acute trusts to undertake ‘Innovation Adoption Reviews’.

These aimed to help the trusts understand their current practice and experience of adopting innovation, what they do well and how they might improve. The key themes and findings from these reviews have been used to identify a set of positive influences on innovation in trusts – things that can help them identify and adopt more innovation, across more services and help deliver their priorities.

You can download and view the report below. 

Webinar to discuss the findings
We also have a special webinar planned to discuss the report. Please join us on Wednesday, 11 November from 12.30pm – 1.30pm, where we will hear from trust representatives and share outcomes from the report. Book your place now by emailing: sam.kehoe-coulter@wessexahsn.net.
