In order to obtain tickets for the webinar please use Access Code: NIHR
The NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme is accepting applications with the second call for the researcher and clinician-led THRIVE (Translate Healthcare Research through InnoVation and Entrepreneurship) funding and training opportunity.
THRIVE aims to accelerate the translation of healthcare innovations tackling health inequalities from bench to bed, speed up patient benefit and concurrently expand the entrepreneurial mindset of researchers and clinicians.
THRIVE is aimed at academic and clinical entrepreneurs with innovations at prototype development level (Technology Readiness Level (TRL 3)) and above to ensure that the product is advanced enough to test the market need and build a commercialisation strategy and benefit from the training by applying the ideas and frameworks to an innovation ready for translation.
THRIVE offers up to £150,000 over 9 months to support the development of the technology and a structured programme of entrepreneurial training, mentoring, peer support and networking. Through the programme the innovators will explore the market for their innovation and identify potential routes for commercialising (spin-out vs licensing) or sustaining their innovation (Intrapreneurship).
The programme supports innovations that can reduce health inequalities and meet needs in underserved communities.
Applications from underserved communities and geographies as well as under-represented innovators are encouraged.

First Virtual Equity Charter COP
2026-03-04 12:30 - 13:30
First Virtual Equity Charter COP date loading (4th March 12:30-13:30)
Equity in digital health cannot be a side conversation. It has to be designed in.
Because digital is never neutral.
On 4 March, we will be coming together for the Equity Charter Community of Practice. It is a space for honest dialogue, shared learning, and collective action to ensure equity genuinely shows up in our systems, services and leadership.
Digital tools can widen gaps or close them.
They can exclude quietly or empower intentionally.
They reflect the values of those who build and implement them.
This isn’t a webinar.
It’s not passive listening.
It’s a community.
If you work in digital, data, transformation, clinical leadership, policy, or design , this space is for you.
📅 First session: 4 March | 12:30–13:30 | Virtual
📅 3 June | 16:30–17:30
📅 29 September | In person at HETT
📅 25 November | 12:30–13:30
Equity is not an abstract principle. It is a daily practice.
