The NHS National Innovation Accelerator programme selects innovations each year that the NHS and regional ASHN’s, wish to support in scaling within the NHS. Led by Prof Stephen Powis, NHS Medical Director, this year’s theme included how innovations could help hospitals recover from COVID 19. This symposium presents 3 innovations from selected NIA fellows that will prove of benefit to surgical patients, trusts and ICS organisations.
