The West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network: Solving Health and Social Care Challenges.

The West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network:
Solving Health and Social Care Challenges.

What we do

We work with healthcare organisations to identify real clinical or operational challenges, then deliver structured innovation programmes that connect them with technology companies with solutions.

How we do it

The West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network programmes follow a proven three-stage method.
It’s a process built for the pace and detail to enable change in healthcare organisations.

01
Discovery

We map the healthcare challenge from every angle so any solution we test is grounded in what needs to change.

02
Development

We source innovators, co-design with healthcare teams and test and iterate problem-solution-fit, to address real-world problems.

03
Deployment

We support teams to evaluate, adopt and implement innovative solutions and processes efficiently.

SWFT: Contact Tracing

SMEs have the opportunity to work with South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust (SWFT) to develop a next-generation A&E SWFT Contract Tracing prototype.

SWFT: Contact Tracing

West Midlands Health and Wellbeing Innovation Network recently hosted a system wide workshop with a focus on integrated care for children and young people in Birmingham and Solihull. This was led in a very professional and effective manner. The team had clearly considered how to get to the outputs that were required from the day and I believe that working with WMHWIN has enabled BSol to move forward with this work, in a collaborative way, with a focus on the best outcomes for children and young people. I would not hesitate to work with WMHWIN again.
