NHS England + UK Space Agency: multi-million pound drive to improve patient
care
The UK Space Agency has announced it is allocating up to £4 million to find hi-tech solutions to the
major health and care challenges facing the NHS in its 70th anniversary year in a joint initiative with
NHS England.
These challenges are:
• Managing long term conditions including joining up health and care services
• Earlier diagnosis of cancer
• Transforming GP services and other primary care
• Meeting mental health needs
Previous examples of space tech being adapted for NHS use include a pill camera that can be
swallowed by patients, dementia tracking slippers, breast screening vans that beam images back to
assessment centres, wearable monitors to help prevent falls among the elderly and apps that help

Sheffield City Council: ‘Somewhere Else to Assess’ model
NHS Sheffield CCG and Sheffield City Council have been working in partnership with Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHSFT to:
• Help reduce emergency admissions to hospital
• Support timely hospital discharge, and;
• Wherever possible, discharge people to their own home or normal place of residence.
‘Somewhere Else to Assess’ is a model that supports individuals who are medically fit to be discharged from hospital but would benefit from a period of assessment in a care home setting while their long-term care and support needs are identified.
This model is a key element of the Health and Social Care vision to:
- Develop services that keep people well at home - Reduce unnecessary hospital admissions - Reduce the time people have to stay in hospital when they are well enough to leave and; - Only utilise hospital care when clinically necessary and only for as much time as is needed to
resolve the acute need.

NIHR: 19/49 Call for ambitious data-enabled trials, health services and public
health research studies
The HTA, HS&DR and PHR programmes are interested in funding studies using innovative data-
enabled designs to answer pressing knowledge gaps for health, public health and, or social care
evidence users, NHS patients, people with lived experience and, or policymakers.
Applicants need to demonstrate first and foremost that the proposed work addresses an identified
and important health-related research question which, if answered will make a difference to practice
and health, improve the lives of populations or service users, and, or support evidence-informed
decision-making. In their proposal applicants will need to demonstrate to the programmes that simply
exploring how routine data can be used is not the primary purpose of a proposed piece of work.
The programmes are particularly interested in ambitious studies that use data-enabled approaches at
scale. Applicants should note the programmes are also interested in proposals that include
participants or populations who would not normally be engaged with research due to their location
or socio-demographic characteristics; the programmes wish to contribute to addressing health
inequalities through engagement in research and bring research to areas of the country of most
patient or population need. However, the programmes are looking for scale first and foremost.

INNOVATE UK & SBRI
Innovate UK: Digital technology for adult social care
This is a SBRI competition with funding provided by the GovTech Catalyst for Torfaen County borough council. Organisations can apply for a share of up to £1.25 million to develop technology that creates more efficient and effective adult social care systems.
Adult social care can help keep older and more vulnerable adults independent for longer. This competition aims to use technology to make adult social care provision more effective and efficient and reduce demand on social care services.
We are looking for proposals for technology that can track data in real-time and use it to inform how resources are deployed and prioritised to the best effect. This could include:
• using technology to improve the point of entry into adult social care
• creating more dynamic and flexible care systems that respond to changing needs
• making better use of evidence to inform commissioning both now and in the future
The programme will be delivered over 2 phases. This is phase 1 and only successful applicants from phase 1 will be able to apply to take part in phase 2.
Phase 1: technical feasibility
In the first phase research and development contracts will be awarded to demonstrate technical feasibility of the proposed solution.
- a total of £250,000 is allocated to phase 1 of the competition - projects should last up to 3 months - total individual project costs can be up to £50,000, including VAT - we expect to fund up to 5 projects
Phase 2: prototype development and evaluation
In the second phase, 2 research and development contracts will be awarded to successful phase 1 applicants, in order to prototype and field test proposals. Up to £500,000, including VAT, will be allocated to each contract.

Innovate UK: Artificial intelligence-supported early fracture diagnosis: SBRI competition
This is a Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) competition funded by Opportunity North East and NHS Scotland. Successful applicants will receive 100% funding and have access to advice from NHS Grampian, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), the University of Aberdeen, the Canon Medical Research Europe and the funders.
The overall programme will be delivered in 2 phases. A decision to proceed with phase 2 will depend on the outcomes from phase 1. Only successful applicants from phase 1 will be able to apply to take part in phase 2.
NHS Scotland and Opportunity North East (ONE) are investing up to £240,000, including VAT, in innovative data analytics technology. The aim is to improve front-line clinical decision making and patient management in unscheduled care facilities.
The solution will improve clinical workflow and safety by optimising clinical decision making and management pathways. It must use artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning algorithms to interpret data from upper limb (wrist or hand) and lower limb (ankle or foot) radiographs and linked text-based reports. Accurate determination of the presence or absence of a fracture in these areas has the potential to significantly improve patient care.
Phase 1 research and development contracts will be focused on feasibility studies. Phase 2 contracts will be prototype development and testing.

Research Networking
The Research Networking Scheme is intended to support forums for the discussion and exchange of
ideas on a specified thematic area, issue or problem. The intention is to facilitate interactions
between researchers and stakeholders through, for example, a short-term series of workshops,
seminars, networking activities or other events. The aim of these activities is to stimulate new
debate across boundaries, for example, disciplinary, conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and/or
international. Proposals should explore new areas, be multi-institutional and can include creative or
innovative approaches or entrepreneurship. Proposals must justify the approach taken and clearly
explain the novelty or added value for bringing the network participants together.
Proposals for full economic costs up to £30,000 for a period of up to two years may be submitted.
The exact mechanism for networking and the duration is up to the applicants to decide but must be
fully justified in the proposal. An additional threshold of up to £15,000 full economic cost may be
sought to cover the costs of any international participants or activities in addition to the £30,000 fEC
scheme limit. Proposals will need to be submitted by an eligible Research Organisation but must
involve collaboration with at least one other organisation, as well as having significant relevance to
beneficiaries in the UK.

MRC: Public Health Intervention Development Scheme
The scheme supports projects that will develop innovative new interventions that address an important UK or global public health issue, and seeks to encourage a novel, high risk approach to intervention development. Complex, population level interventions, with a focus on non-health care settings (such as: transport, education, employment, leisure and the built environment), are considered particularly suitable. Health care settings are not excluded, but projects should demonstrate potential for improved health of general, high risk or vulnerable populations. In addition, proposals that align with the NIHR Public Health Research Programme or for MRC Global Health schemes are particularly welcomed.
Proposals should address the early stage of development of new interventions including qualitative and quantitative primary research, developing theory and designing the intervention.
Examples of the types of research within scope are:
▪ defining the intervention ▪ specifying content ▪ developing theory ▪ modelling process and outcomes such as developing logic models ▪ identifying components and their inter-relationships ▪ developing procedures and protocols ▪ creation of new interventions where active components of existing interventions are recombined
to create a new intervention

The Foundation seeks creative ideas about how to engage the public in health research that focus on people, helping everyone play their own role in improving health. Work which promotes diversity and inclusion and engages people and communities who are affected by social and economic disadvantage is particularly welcomed.
Funded projects will offer creative approaches to engage the public by:
• Empowering people
• Improving health research
• Helping people to value and think critically about science, health research, innovation and the role these play in society
Projects funded will be innovative or a new way of working; a development of an already successful activity that can be scaled up, made sustainable and cost-effective; or an existing activity that can be replicated with a new audience, e.g. a different demographic or location.
Grants of £25,000 to £3 million are awarded to projects taking place in the UK, Republic of Ireland or low and middle-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia and the Pacific region for work lasting up to 3 years.
Deadlines: Applications for grants under £250,000 are considered through a single stage application process four times a year – the next deadline is 9 July 2019.
Grants over £250,000 are considered throughout the year following the submission of an expression of interest – apply at any time.

EUROPEAN & INTERNATIONAL
H2020: For a Better Innovation Support to SMEs
The following call for proposals is one element of a broader action to address these challenges and
develop the ecosystem of innovation support to SMEs in Europe. Generally, the actions are designed
to provide opportunities to Member States and regions to enhance their services through
collaboration, and peer-learning. The emphasis is on further testing new approaches for better
innovation support, such as blockchain technologies, workplace innovation, a network for Open
Innovation, training on advanced manufacturing, experimentation in innovation agencies and a tool
for investors in financing SMEs. These large pilot actions will consolidate the results and provide
recommendations for the preparation of the next framework programme. The Enterprise Europe
Network, the National Contact Points (NCPs) and the Member States are expected to continue playing
an important role in implementing these pilot actions and transferring the result 'in-real-time' to their
regions and managing authorities of their European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds).

FURTHER INFORMATION
What Works Centre for Wellbeing
Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity lead some of the UK’s largest place-based programmes – focusing on the complex urban health issues like childhood obesity and multiple long-term conditions.
Four things we've learnt from their current programmes:
1. The importance of getting underneath the surface of the issues 2. The value of bringing together data, evidence and lived experience 3. The benefit of ‘thinking like a system, acting like an entrepreneur’ 4. The need to work on issues at different scales.
We’ve also started to consider what place-based approaches like ours can bring to health today and in the future, and what the implications are for practice and policy.

NICE impact: new report on stroke
In her blog in the National Health Executive (NHE) Gillian Leng, Deputy Chief Executive of NICE, asks ‘How are we improving outcomes for those affected by stroke?’ Stroke is one of the greatest health challenges of our time; there are a reported 38,000 deaths occurring every year in the UK, from more than 100,000 strokes. Bringing together NICE’s suite of guidance, we have published a new impact report on stroke that looks at how our recommendations are making a difference. The report looks at improvements in health and social care and identifies areas where more work is needed.

NIHR Dissemination Centre: Financial incentives for patients
Whether attending screening appointments, taking medication correctly, quitting smoking, or increasing physical activity, there are many situations where changing behaviour is important for health. However, it is often not clear how best to help people make healthy changes. In the case of tobacco or alcohol consumption, there is good evidence that financial disincentives, such as increasing sales taxes, do deter these harmful behaviours. But these approaches are not suitable in many situations. There is increasing interest in the use of financial incentives, such as small cash rewards, to promote particular desirable behaviours.
Evidence to date about the effectiveness of financial incentives is mixed. The NIHR has funded a range of studies exploring the use of incentives in different circumstances, and how people feel about them. This Highlight explores this evidence and considers how incentives can be helpful in healthcare, for who and in what circumstances.

New WHO guidelines promote healthy lifestyle to reduce risk of dementia
New WHO guidelines released on 14 May 2019 advocate physical activity and a healthy lifestyle as important strategies to prevent dementia. “Unfortunately, many people with dementia are diagnosed too late, and treatment options are then less effective. Since dementia remains a condition without a cure, early detection, treatment, care and support are key in terms of an effective public health response. Risk reduction strategies, such as pursuing a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise and by not smoking, are also very important,” comments Bente Mikkelsen, Director of the Division of Noncommunicable Diseases and Promoting Health through the Life-course, WHO/Europe.
