Innovation Fund
Friday 23rd of May 2014
Innovation Fund
Why was this fund created?
•
The initiative came about in response to ideas raised through the
CCG’s ‘Call to Action’ consultation and Commissioning Intentions
event in November 2013.
•
We want to commission services that will meet the needs of local
people and reduce health inequalities in City and Hackney. The way
we do this needs to be informed by genuine patient and public
involvement.
•
Through this fund we want to support projects that will
•
•
•
test out new approaches
introduce new ideas into mainstream services
Introduce approaches that tick multiple strategic priorities and holistic
approaches
What are we looking for?
We are looking for innovative ideas that bring together the following:
CCG Programme Boards’
priorities
• Maternity
• Children
• Planned Care
• Primary Care Quality
• Mental Health
• Prescribing
• Urgent Care and
Integrated Care
• Long Term Conditions
NHS City and Hackney
CCG’s wider commissioning
intentions
Fund themes
•
There are four themes for the Fund,
generated with significant input from
patient representatives.
•
These themes represent the broad
outcomes that we would like to see in
City and Hackney.

Integrated services
• a whole-life service experience for
patients and carers through
integrated provision and co-location
• clear service pathways enabling
professionals to signpost and users to
navigate services effectively
Building Independence

their condition
• feeling supported to look after their
mental and physical health
• be enabled to help people around
them lead healthy and fulfilling lives
Confident and informed
users

aware of what services could be
helpful for them
• feeling supported to access the
services they need at the right time
Involving and listening to
patients
Innovative solutions that draw on the
knowledge and experience of users to
drive design and improvement.
