Guest speaker Maxine Farmer, Senior Advisor at Health Innovation East
Innovation can play a large role in reducing healthcare inequalities. A unique collaboration between the Royal Papworth Hospital (RPH) and NHS England’s Innovation for Healthcare Programme (InHIP) has enabled an innovative service to improve care and treatment for patients across the East of England with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD).
The work helps accelerate access to NICE approved medication and aligns with the Core20PLUS5 approach as well as developing the services to better meet the needs of our region.
