This suite of high-level flowcharts has been created to support individuals navigating health and care as part of their innovation project. Recognising that individuals are at different stages of their innovation journey, the three stages – discover, develop, deploy – have been utilised. It is recognised that implementation of innovation isn’t linear and as such you will need to consider this. The flowcharts are designed to be used as part of our discussions with you and a guide as to what you need to consider at each stage e.g. type of project and key points that we ask you about as part of our facilitative discussion.

A copy of these flowcharts is available.
