During Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) from November 13-19, InnoScot Health is appealing to healthcare professionals within NHS Scotland to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit and drive innovation in patient care.
GEW is an annual event that celebrates entrepreneurs and start-up businesses worldwide, with a focus on those who may face barriers to entry or have never considered launching a business. For InnoScot Health, GEW serves as a timely reminder for clinicians to seize the opportunity to bring forward groundbreaking ideas during a critical period of recovery and transformation for Scottish healthcare.
As a formal partner of NHS Scotland and a member of the country’s coordination group for the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme (CEP), InnoScot Health recognizes the potential for healthcare professionals to balance successful careers within the NHS and as entrepreneurs.
Graham Watson, Executive Chair of InnoScot Health, emphasized the importance of celebrating and empowering innovators, risk takers, and community contributors, especially within the context of Scotland. He highlighted the potential for healthcare professionals to leverage their clinical expertise, understanding of patient needs, and passion for improvement as valuable assets in the entrepreneurial landscape.
InnoScot Health has played a pivotal role in assisting talented individuals to pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions while remaining active in healthcare. The organization aims to engage the workforce and drive transformational change, finding solutions to healthcare challenges and turning innovative ideas into actionable initiatives.
Global Entrepreneurship Week features tens of thousands of events, activities, and competitions across 200 countries, providing participants with opportunities to expand their networks and connect with their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. InnoScot Health is keen on leveraging the week to encourage the NHS Scotland workforce to drive transformation and embrace entrepreneurial thinking, ultimately shaping the future of healthcare.
In line with this transformative mindset, InnoScot Health has issued innovation calls in areas such as pregnancy and perinatal care, ophthalmology, and sustainability, creating a strong pipeline of innovative ideas within the NHS.
This approach reinforces the importance of NHS Scotland as the driving force behind the evolution of the healthcare service, enabling it to effectively respond to new patterns of care, increasing demand, and technological advancements. With the right support and encouragement, healthcare professionals can seamlessly transition into entrepreneurial thinking, further contributing to the innovation and sustainability of the healthcare sector.
