NHS Grampian’s Innovation HUB was established in 2016 with our executive sponsor being Director of Strategy & Deputy Chief Executive, Adam Coldwells. The Innovation Hub is a specialist team with fewer managers and a flatter hierarchy and therefore in a unique position to work flexibly across formal and informal decision-making structures.

The Innovation Hub exists to match the best ideas and solutions with our most difficult healthcare challenges. We work with patients, the NHS workforce, industry partners and academia to improve patient care for today, whilst building up on the existing legacy of innovation in the North East for generations to follow.

The Innovation Hub priorities reflect those of NHS Grampian, the Scottish Government, and the UK Life Sciences Vision.
