Wanted: bright ideas to improve patient care

Do you have a great idea that could make a difference to patient care? Then speak to the people who could make it a reality – and become an inventor in the process.
Scottish Health Innovations Ltd (SHIL) is urging NHS Lothian staff to share their ideas for new products and processes that could help patients.

And if an idea hits the market, it wouldn’t just be the patient that sees the benefit – both the health board and the inventor would see a return.
Already, the organisation has helped develop products including an ambulance child restraint and an adventure storybook to prepare young children for X-rays.

April Kelly, SHIL’s business development manager at NHS Lothian, said:

“You never know, your idea could make a big difference to patient care. Even if it is not necessarily an idea for a product, but rather an issue that you feel needs a solution, your involvement could add real value to current ideas in development.”
