The Innovation Pathway is central to HI NENC providing a robust structure and process to best support innovation into health and social care.
The Innovation Pathway breaks down the journey of an innovation and is supported at each stage by both internal HI NENC functions and support offered via the wider North East health ecosystem.
We work closely with partners, stakeholders, regional and national networks to ensure that your innovation receives the best and most appropriate support possible. As an organisation, we support innovators, academics, and businesses every step of the way.
Whether an individual or a team, NHS led or a business, innovators from all backgrounds and sectors can access the expertise of HI NENC.
We can support you to drive and champion innovation and adoption, as well as, where appropriate, to grow your business.
The Innovation Pathway enables companies to access NHS expertise to grow their business and we offer bespoke services covering the entire innovation life cycle, from conception of an idea through to its eventual realisation of commercial success and patient benefit.
If you would like to find out more about how HI NENC can support your business and to find out more about the support available via the Innovation Pathway, please email our Pathway Navigators at enquiries@healthinnovationnenc.org.uk
We work closely with the NENC ICS and our Member Organisations, including the NHS Trusts 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.

Supporting better diagnostics for patient benefit. We are part of NIHR and a member of the MIC network.
The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Newcastle In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (NIHR Newcastle MIC) is a partnership between Newcastle University and Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Our aim is to ensure that better diagnostics are available quickly for patients. We work collaboratively with diagnostics developers to generate a portfolio of evidence that supports the use of their technologies in healthcare. We focus on diagnostics that tackle unmet needs in: ageing and long-term chronic conditions; infection and stratified medicine.
The North East Innovation Lab was created by Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust with the specific aim to support developers of diagnostic tests with the facilities and expertise they need, to speed up development. We have an HTA-registered biobank and access to the diagnostic labs within the Trust, as well as our own research nurse which enable us to prospectively collect bespoke samples from patients. We can support with diagnostic test evaluations, including analytical and clinical performance evaluations, as well as limits of detection, cross reactivity and usability studies. We can also provide methodology expertise to help develop study protocols.
