Join the Adopters’ Network

This is a great opportunity to create a new way of implementing innovation in our vibrant life sciences and health and care ecosystem. We need early adopters with experience of delivering innovations ahead of the curve and acting as a pioneer for new ground-breaking solutions.

The Adopters’ Network will inform the strategic direction of the innovation hub. It will draw on the experience of those who are already innovating across the system to help identify and learn from opportunities and barriers that they have encountered.

Network members will help to design the innovation hub from the ground up and will provide invaluable peer support and guidance to implementation projects on the frontline.

The network will also provide a forum to connect and learn alongside like-minded peers and access the hub's educational resources.

If you are interested in helping to design the innovation hub for our health system and providing mentorship and support to ensure innovation projects are successful, please provide a brief description of your previous innovation experience and motivation to join the Adopters’ Network by using the following application link:

Citizen Participation Group

The Citizen Participation Group is being established to embed the public voice in the work of the innovation hub. Co-production lies at the heart of the hub’s activities, so our Citizen Participation Group members will help to guide the design, delivery, monitoring and evaluation of innovations that are implemented through the hub. The Citizen Participation Group will bring together a diverse range of citizen views and experiences from across the county to ensure that the work of the hub fully represents the views and interests of all.

All we ask is that you bring a passion for improving health and care and willingness to draw on your personal experience as a patient, family member or friend. The focus of the hub is to address health inequalities – unfair and avoidable differences in health across the population, and between different groups within society. Health inequalities arise because of conditions in which we are born, grow up, live, work and age. We would therefore love to hear from applicants from a diversity of backgrounds, including age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity and income.

Participation will mean a commitment of approximately 3 hours a month, for which you will be paid at approximately £12 per hour for meetings plus travel, and £20 per hour for additional work outside of meetings.

If you are interested in joining the Citizen Participation Group, or may know someone who would be, we would love to hear from you. Please use the following application link to provide a brief introduction, and tell us the reasons and motivations for your application:
