A new community of health and care innovation pioneers launches to drive better health outcomes for Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire<\/strong><\/h1>\n

An update from the\u00a0Innovate Healthier Together Programme<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday 1 May, we hosted an event to mark the official launch of our Innovate Healthier Together Fellowship, hosted by the Chair of Health Innovation West of England and Vice-Chancellor of UWE, Professor Sir Steve West CBE. Colleagues from across Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire gathered at the stunning The Mount Without event venue in central Bristol.<\/p>\n

The Innovate Healthier Together Fellowship aims to provide a community and a space to spark innovative thinking and new ways of working across health and care services in Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire.<\/p>\n

To launch this important initiative, we were joined by 121 professionals with a diverse mix of skills from across all health and care sectors. Those in attendance were asked to contribute to how the fellowship should run, priority themes for collaboration, and what support they could pledge.<\/p>\n

Prior to the fellowship launch, we approached key individuals who are already taking incredible steps in progressing innovative practices in our health and care system, inviting them to join the community as our Founding Fellows.<\/p>\n

During our launch event, attendees heard from Founding Fellows including Huda Hujinur, Rebecca Thorpe, Marc Griffiths and Rhys Hancock. Each fellow shared their examples of their own innovative work, alongside their commitment to the fellowship.<\/p>\n

Huda Hujinur of Caafi Health, inspired our audience with her progressive work specifically supporting underrepresented communities and marginalised groups. Marc Griffiths of University of the West of England touched on the continued development of the Integrated Care Academy at the University of the West of England and its collaboration with partners across the local and regional systems.<\/p>\n

Rhys Hancock of Brisdoc shared information on the Mental Health Integrated Access Partnership. Rebecca Thorpe of University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) talked about her experience of SHarED (Supporting High impact users in Emergency Departments) and the support she received through collaboration with Health Innovation West of England to spread the project across the region.<\/p>\n
