Dorset Innovation Hub 

Dorset Innovation Hub is one of 4 designated Health Foundation Innovation Hubs in the United Kingdom. The innovation hub is hosted by NHS Dorset ICB as a centralised service, and is overseen by a programme group of 13 partners: primary, community secondary and social care, academia, innovation, research, economy, industry and with patient and public involvement and engagement.  

The Dorset Innovation Hub team, made up of dedicated Innovation Hub team members and support in kind from members of the partners across Dorset, support staff to use new innovations to support patients and our service users.

  • Their vision is to establish the conditions to facilitate and sustain innovation adoption across the Dorset ICS Dorset for the benefit of our patients and service users.

  • The hub draws on the respective partners experience and expertise as outlined by the Health Foundation to focus on the adaptation of innovation to the local context, using patient and public involvement and co-production principles to ensure that the process takes account of and is sensitive to the needs of patients, staff, existing culture and working practices.

Dorset Innovation Hub partners are across primary, community secondary and social care, academia, innovation, research, economy, industry and with patient and public involvement and engagement.
