This inaugural Dorset Innovation Hub summit will provide an opportunity to empower; celebrate and support people across Dorset. The summit will enable you to: Network with colleagues who are working to improve the adoption of proven innovations; Learn from leading voices on how to create opportunities for innovation adoption; Reflect on the conditions required to maximise sustainable innovation adoption; Get up to date with national developments on innovation adoption; Learn about working being undertaken in Dorset to support the adoption of innovations; Reflect on the innovation culture in your own services and how this can be supported to enable development.
The Dorset Innovation Hub (DIH) is part of the Health Foundation’s Adopting Innovation programme. The DIH 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 focus of the DIH is the adaption of proven innovations 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. Our vision is to establish the conditions to facilitate and sustain innovation adoption across the Dorset ICS for the benefit of patients and service users.
