Briefing Webinar: Delivering a Net Zero NHS for a Healthier Future
SBRI Healthcare, an Accelerated Access Collaborative initiative, in partnership with Greener NHS and the AHSN Network, is delighted to announce a new competition; Competition 24: Delivering a Net Zero NHS for a Healthier Future.
The NHS became the world’s first health service to set net zero targets with the ‘delivering a net zero NHS’ report published in 2020, and the first to embed net zero into legislation, through the Health and Care Act 2022. Since June 2022, every trust in England has put in place a Green Plan, setting out their aims, objectives and delivery plans for carbon reduction.
Since 2010, the NHS has reduced emissions by 30% and more transformation that reduces emissions whilst maintaining and improving the quality of patient care is required. Innovation has a significant role to play in supporting the NHS to reach net zero and investing in innovation now will accelerate action and ensure the best outcomes for patients.
The competition seeks applications that focus on clinical community engagement and transformation, and business models for circularity.
The key aims of the Briefing Webinar are to:
- Introduce the SBRI Healthcare programme and aims of the competition
- Explain in more detail what challenges the competition aims to address, and provide a clearer view of the type of innovations encouraged to apply
- Allow applicants to better understand the role of the AHSNs, how they are best placed to support projects, and hear tips about implementation studies and evaluations
- Allow applicants to ask questions
The competition is a standalone competition aimed at early-stage innovations to accelerate the development of greener innovations towards a more sustainable healthcare system.
The competition is open to single organisations based in the UK or EU from the private, public, and third sectors, including companies – large corporates and small and medium enterprises, charities, universities and NHS providers. Organisations based outside of the UK or EU with innovations in remit for this competition can apply as subcontractors of a lead UK/EU based organisation or via a UK or EU subsidiary. All innovations should demonstrate a clear benefit for the NHS.
The early-stage development contracts are for a maximum of 12 months and from £50,000- £100,000 (NET) per project.
Application will be open from 31st October – 22nd November 2023 on the competition page.
