Innovation

NHS Tayside Innovation is a leader in health innovation and digital healthcare, transforming the health and wellbeing of citizens across Tayside.

The healthcare sector is a major source and focus for innovation.  Everyone working in healthcare can be an innovator, even if they don't realise it. Every day, in every role, everyone has challenges and problems to solve.

Partnership is at the core of NHS Tayside Innovation’s work; through strong relationships and collaborative working we bring together expertise from across the innovation ecosystem to turn great ideas into real world solutions; from digital tools to healthcare analytics, our work is wide-ranging, exciting and makes a difference to people’s lives.

We are here to support innovation that addresses key challenges to improve health, social care and service delivery.

NHS Tayside Innovation is primarily involved with innovation activity that focuses on:

  • Development of ideas
  • Testing and developing prototypes
  • Evaluation of devices and processes in real life environments
