Forth Valley Launches New IP Policy |
|
Scottish Health Innovations Ltd (SHIL) and the Research and Development Department have teamed up to promote NHS Forth Valley’s new policy to manage and protect new ideas for healthcare improvement developed by our staff. A series of events and a prize draw have been arranged to mark the launch. Whilst going about normal day to day duties it is not unusual for staff to identify better ways of working, creating opportunities to improve patient care. These ideas can range from service improvements to new or improved medical devices. Developments like these can be classed as intellectual property (IP). Often there is opportunity to develop these ideas further, creating a product that benefits patients, staff and the NHS as a whole. IP is “the novel or previously not described tangible or intangible output of any idea-generating activity”. IP can be protected by Patent, Copyright, Design Right, Trademark or Know-How. NHS Forth Valley Research and Development Department is delighted to announce the launch of the new IP policy which outlines how Forth Valley will manage and protect IP developed by our staff. To launch the new policy they have teamed up with SHIL, a publicly-funded organisation set up to commercialise NHS Scotland IP to host a series of events throughout the NHS Forth Valley area:
