Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria

We are Health Innovation North East and North Cumbria (HI NENC) and we are proud to work across a wonderful region, supporting innovation in all its forms within the NHS and Social Care.

We work with our Member Organisations including the NHS Trusts, CCGs and Universities across the NENC to help them identify, evaluate, adopt and disseminate transformative innovation. We work a lot with Industry too, as a source of innovation and also to help industry access the expertise within the NHS that is so crucial to the development, testing and deployment of products and services that are the basis of the UK’s Life Sciences sector.

As part of a national network of 15 AHSNs, and with colleagues across the country, we collaborate to make nationally important innovation visible and accessible throughout the NHS.
