Celebrationof Innovation Awards 20.07.17Delegate brochure

On behalf of the Board and the Executive Team of the West Midlands Academic Health Science Network (WMAHSN), it gives me great pleasure to welcome so many of you to our Celebration of Innovation Event 2017.

So much has happened since our last Celebration of Innovation Event a year ago, and today is a great opportunity to find out how our membership services, networks and programmes have developed over the past 12 months. April 2016 saw us introduce our enhanced membership scheme, designed to deliver innovative solutions and support for regional priorities, facilitated by our enabling themes, networks and services to provide opportunities for all our standard and enhanced members. We also introduced our Membership Innovation Councils in the north, centre and south of the region, giving local influence over our priorities and driving the spread of innovations at a grassroots level.

These services and networks have allowed us to deliver real impacts to improve health outcomes and generate wealth across our region, and today’s agenda affords an opportunity to reflect on progress, as well as to look forward to what we will offer in the future. Our forty plus programmes of work are showing real benefits in terms of innovation, improvement, adoption and spread, and economic impacts. You can read more about these in our Annual Report 2016/17, which we are launching today.

Some of these programmes are in the running for our prestigious annual Celebration of Innovation Awards, which will be presented over dinner later this evening. I hope to see many of you there to congratulate the worthy winners as we toast this year’s successes – and look forward to further achievements in the future.

Dr Christopher Parker CBEManaging Director, WMAHSN
