We are the health innovation experts, bridging the gap between ideas and real world impact. Our multidisciplinary team of clinical and non-clinical professionals empowers innovators to develop solutions that are ready for adoption, while supporting health and social care teams to test and scale new technologies that tackle the NHS’s most pressing challenges.

We're proud to be part of a national network of 15 local organisations working together to deliver change and impact by driving health innovation across the NHS at pace. Since 2018, almost 5 million patients have benefited from our national programmes and we've leveraged £3 billion of investment into the economy. 

With deep roots in healthcare, academia, life sciences, and research, Health Innovation Wessex has built a trusted reputation for guiding the best in medical technology and treatment into practice - resulting in better outcomes for patients, greater value for the NHS, and meaningful economic growth across Wessex and beyond.
