We have been designated by NHS England as the Health Innovation (HIN) for North West London, and we are one of 15 HINs across England which make up The Health Innovation Network.

We were created by the NHS to support complex change across the health and care sector – innovating and collaborating for a healthier population.

The NWL Research & Innovation Board has established that, to have more impact through innovation, the work we undertake together needs to focus on a smaller number of priorities. This defined and deliberate portfolio of innovation projects are known as the NWL Missions. These have been identified as:
• Optimising care of long-term conditions (starting with CVD)
• Ensuring the right care setting to reduce harm (starting with the acute pathway)
• Supporting children and young people’s mental health.

As the innovation arm of the NW London ICS, ICHP has been commissioned to facilitate the coordination and collaboration of this Mission-led model.
