The NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) is an NHS England Initiative delivered in partnership with the country’s 15 Health Innovation Networks (HINs) and the Accelerated Access Collaborative. Hosted by UCLPartners, it supports delivery of the Five Year Forward View by accelerating uptake of high impact innovations for patient, population and NHS staff benefit, and providing real time practical insights on spread to inform national strategy. Fellows supported by the NIA all share a set of values and passion for scaling evidence-based innovation to benefit a wider population, with a commitment to share their learnings. Some impressive results have been achieved by Fellows since the NIA launched in July 2015: 2,980 additional NHS sites now using NIA innovations; £203 million in external funds secured; 193 awards won; 1,145 jobs created; and 57 innovations selling internationally. In addition, impact data is already available at adopter sites and this demonstrates earlier intervention, reductions in complications and emergency admissions, alongside cost savings.
