Bright Ideas in Health Awards
Health Innovation NENC is proud to host the Bright Ideas in Health Awards, an annual awards ceremony to celebrate innovation in healthcare across the North East and North Cumbria.
The Bright Ideas in Health Awards, now in its eighteenth year, celebrates the achievements of individuals and teams working within the NHS, industry and academia, who have risen to the challenge of telling us how, and where, they believe that the services provided to patients can be improved, either through a technical innovation or through better service delivery.
Everyone can play a part in developing innovative solutions to the healthcare challenges that we face every day. The competition, depending upon the category, is open to all SMEs, NHS organisations, social care, local authorities and academic institutions in the North East of England and North Cumbria.
To keep up to date with news on the Bright Ideas in Health Awards please follow us on our Twitter @BIHA_2022, LinkedIn and Facebook channels.
