Eligible projects for entry into the awards include those where a new/improved product or service is being developed by, or in conjunction with, the lead NHS organisation in response to an identified need. Entries will be considered from the idea stage right through to clinical investigation/pilot.

It is essential to help NHS staff realise the potential value of their ideas and to encourage them to come forward with them, and this is exactly what innovation competitions such as this will do.
