Innovation

Innovation is at the heart of delivering high-quality care and ensuring better health outcomes for country communities. We are committed to exploring new technologies, improving service delivery, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Through collaboration with patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, and industry leaders, we drive advancements that enhance patient experiences and streamline healthcare processes. Our goal is to help make healthcare more accessible, effective, and sustainable for everyone.

Innovation is not just about adopting new technologies; it is about thinking differently, solving challenges creatively, and implementing evidence-based solutions to improve healthcare delivery. Whether through digital health initiatives, process improvements, or innovative models of care, we strive to push the boundaries of what is possible in healthcare.

The insights, experiences, and feedback of patients and carers help drive meaningful innovation that meets the needs of our communities.

What is an innovation pilot?

An innovation pilot is a small-scale test of a new healthcare idea, technology, or process designed to improve patient care. These pilots allow us to evaluate the effectiveness of new approaches before implementing them more broadly. As a patient or carer, you may have the opportunity to participate in these pilots and provide feedback.

How you can get involved

If you are interested in working with the innovation team, or on one of our innovation pilot projects, there are various ways you can get involved:

  • Participate in surveys, focus groups and advisory panels to share your experiences and suggestions.
  • Share your ideas on how we can improve our services via Care Opinion.
  • Collaborate with healthcare teams to co-design services that are patient-centred and responsive to community needs.

Please contact the team for more information on how you can get involved.
