The Health Innovation Network We are the health innovation adoption experts. There are 15 local health innovation networks across England, established by NHS England in 2013 to spread innovation at pace and scale. We tackle national problems, with local understanding. And local problems, with national expertise. Each health innovation network is fully embedded in their local health and research ecosystem. This enables us to drive economic prosperity and growth in all parts of the country, and ensures that everyone benefits from innovation.
