Our coastal and rural region faces some of the most complex health challenges in the country, including long travel times to care, an ageing population and deep-rooted health inequalities. These challenges create powerful opportunities for health innovation to deliver real impact for the people of the South West and drive economic growth. With strong backing from government through the NHS 10-Year Health Plan and the Life Sciences Sector Plan, we are working in partnership with the NHS, industry, academia and communities to realise this opportunity. Working as part of a national network of place-based health innovation organisation, we are ambitious about what we can achieve next: establishing the region as a national leader in rural and coastal health innovation.

You will lead the team which identifies high promise innovations, tests and evaluates innovation in the real-world settings with NHS partners and prepares innovative solutions for implementation at scale. You will build high-impact partnerships between industry and the NHS, lead collabo
