The ICN is about putting NHS staff and their ideas at the heart of innovation in the NHS. The aim of these sessions is to promote innovation across the NHS by giving staff the knowledge, confidence and practical understanding to navigate the innovation process, including the role of intellectual property. It provides opportunities to connect, share ideas, learn from others and engage in meaningful conversations, while showcasing the support available to help healthcare innovators turn great ideas into meaningful improvements for patients, communities and the NHS.
These sessions will also support NHS Organisations to comply with the Step 3 Good Practice Principles of the updated NHS IP Guidance.
The presentation will cover:
- What is intellectual property (IP)?
- The importance of IP in the NHS and how it fits with innovation
- How to identify and protect IP
- Considerations for assessing and progressing ideas
