White Rose Health Innovation Partnership

The White Rose Health Innovation Partnership is a Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) programme which aims to accelerate the healthcare innovation process by bringing together the key stakeholders in this process - that is clinicians, academics and industry - at the formative ideas stage of project creation. The Health Innovation Partnership will encourage new networks and collaborations to form around areas of national clinical need, and support ideas produced from these collaborations, enabling them to be taken forward. The clinical areas of focus in this programme are: Cardiovascular, Woundcare, Orthopaedics, Dentistry, Assistive Technologies & Neuroscience. We will learn about the barriers and ways of accelerating innovation in healthcare and share our findings with the wider healthcare community.

The Health Innovation Partnership includes the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, York and Bradford with international partners in New Jersey (Princeton, Rutgers, NJIT, UMDNJ, NJBLSC), Leeds, Sheffield and Bradford NHS Trusts, the regional NHS Innovation Hub (Medipex), Yorkshire Forward and Medilink Yorkshire & Humber.
