2. What is Innovation? Thinking differently Identifying unmet needs Applying better solutions to problems Developing new solutions to problems Finding new uses for existing technology / devices New ways of delivering an existing service (e.g. telehealth) New ways of delivering an existing service (e.g. telehealth) Change that makes a positive difference Transformative to patient care and experience

3. Defining Innovation It can be ‘an idea, service or product, new to the NHS or applied in a way that is new to the NHS, which significantly improves the quality of health and care wherever it is applied.’ (Innovation, Health & Wealth report, Department of Health, 2011)Innovation, Health & Wealth report, Department of Health, 2011 Innovation can be thought of as the process of converting an idea into a product or a service that meets a need and creates value. Or, innovation…. - matches what is needed with what is possible (comes from insight, often from the end user) - adds economic value or promotes social good, or both, - and can originate from anywhere. (Professor Roy Sandbach)

4. Innovation, Invention, Improvement - What’s The Difference? Innovation - The application of better solutions that address unmet needs Invention - The creation of the idea or method Improvement - Doing the same thing better

5. Why is it important? Published 2011 –Innovation transforms patient outcomes –Innovation can simultaneously improve quality and productivity –Innovation is good for economic growth “Without innovation, public services costs tend to rise faster then the rest of the economy. Without innovation, the inevitable pressure to contain costs can only be met by forcing already stretched staff to work harder”* *Mulgan, G & Albury, D (2003) Innovation in the public sector, Cabinet Office Strategy Unit Report, London

6. Intellectual Property or ‘IP’ – What is it?  Intellectual Property (IP) relates to an idea or expression of an idea – for example it could be a physical invention, a design, a brand or a written or artistic work.  Know how and Trade secrets are also types of IP  Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are used to protect original creative efforts  IP can be sold, bought and licensed in a similar way to other types of property and other parties require the IP owners permission to use it

7. Types of Intellectual Property Know how / Trade secrets  Practical knowledge of how to get something done -Secret information -Unpatented inventions -Formulae -Designs and drawings -Procedures and methods -Accumulated skills and experience  Intention to keep it secret  Knowledge can have economic value (esp. to companies who may not be able to develop solutions without this know how)  Can be exploited (e.g. for consultancy, knowledge transfer)

8. Types of Intellectual Property (cont.) Registered design  Protects the way a product looks (the appearance, physical shape, configuration, decoration)  Must relate to non-functional features (i.e. not related how a product works)  Must be new and have individual character  Protection for up to 25 years Unregistered design rights  Automatic protection of design for 15 years from first creation (need proof of when the design was created)  Applies to protection in UK and EU  Prevents others copying (but must prove that it has been copied)  Not as strong protection as registered designs since have to prove actual copying took place.

9. Types of Intellectual Property (cont.) Copyright  Protects the physical expression of idea or content (does not protect the idea itself)  Protection includes: –original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works / booklets, assessment packages, training tools / original sound recordings, films, broadcasts / software  Arises automatically upon creation of original works, no need to apply to register  Breaches of copyright, for example, includes: -taking images from the internet and putting on training materials without permission (copyright free images can be used) -Incorporating others materials into leaflets without permission from the owner

10. Types of Intellectual Property (cont.) Copyright – How to use it  Appropriate copyright statements are important © [Year of Creation] [Owner] Ensure the owner is the correct legal entity – it’s a criminal offence if not correct!  Add a statement clarifying what you will allow, for example… “May be used free of charge. Selling without prior written consent prohibited. Obtain permission before redistributing. In all cases this notice must remain intact”  Must prove that copying has taken place to prove that a third party has infringed! Often difficult in practice  It is not only how much has been copied, it is what has been copied  Allows you to control your content

11. Types of Intellectual Property (cont.) Patents  To protect inventions - their features, processes, how they work and how they are made  The invention may be a product / parts or features of products / method of manufacturing a product / apparatus for manufacturing a product  Has to be an ‘inventive step’ – the non-obvious aspect that sets it apart from other existing solutions and makes it ‘inventive’  Requires formal application and registration - filing and examination costs apply Trade marks  Provide a badge of origin for goods and services  Can be words, or images, or a combination of both  Have to meet specific criteria to be acceptable  Require formal application and registration - costs apply

12. The Challenge How to embed a culture of innovation? Innovation not the responsibility of one person Everyone has potential to be innovative but they need to know how to take the next steps It can be difficult to unearth best practice *Smith et al (2008) Factors influencing an organisation's ability to manage innovation: A structured literature review and conceptual model, International Journal of Innovation Management, 12(4): 655-676 “Organisational culture is a major factor affecting the speed and frequency of innovation”*

13. Innovation Scout Scheme Led and coordinated by AHSN NENC Specialist support from NHS Innovations North Cohort 1 - 52 Innovation Scouts in NHS organisations across the region Further cohorts will be developed To identify the ‘go to’ person in each organisation for innovation To upskill healthcare professionals to identify and promote innovation To connect people from different organisations to help find solutions Objectives:
