NHS HEREFORD and Worcestershire are offering a £10,000 grant for anyone with new ways of improving local health provision.
The ideas will be assessed against key criteria such as potential for positive outcomes, feasibility, value for money and long term sustainability.
The funding is for a one-off project to be delivered within six months of being awarded the money.
The deadline for submissions are September, 6.
All £10,000 has been provided by a charitable foundation that was set up in the memory of a local GP, health leader, and innovator who passed away in 2022.
The Dr Carl Ellson Clinical Innovation Fund supports new ways of working in the Health and Care service.
Adrian Giles, chair of the Dr Carl Ellson Clinical Innovation Fund said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for an individual or an organisation to really make a difference to how care is delivered in Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
“There are so many talented people across the two counties, and it’s great to offer them meaningful financial support in their pursuit of progress.
“This money is being made available for someone to realise their dreams and share their skills for innovation, while finding new ways of working.
“Carl spent his life working tirelessly to transform healthcare in Worcestershire, promoting new innovative ideas and inspiring many young clinicians to ensure patients received the best possible care.
“This fund is our way of ensuring that Carl’s legacy lives on.”
