The programme has so far enabled more than 4000 patients to access and benefit from 40 innovations.My role involves working with partner organisations including ALBs, AHSNs, commissioners, providers, industry partners and patient groups in co-designing and implementing an approach for diffusing the highest value innovations at scale and pace for the benefit of whole populations.
