This year, the NIA is seeking innovations that address elective recovery and NHS operational challenges post-pandemic, with a focus on the following key therapy areas:

  • Maternity
  • Mental health / severe mental illness
  • Cancer
  • Respiratory disease
  • Hypertension / Cardiovascular disease
  • Urgent and emergency care

Underpinning these will be a focus on alleviating health inequalities, specifically those laid out in the NHS Core20Plus5 manifesto.

The 2022/23  NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) recruitment call will open on 1 September 2022.

The NIA is open to applicants from any background, including SMEs, clinical entrepreneurs and academia, with innovations of any type that solve a problem for the NHS.
