Training and networking

Training and networking

To complement the services that we provide, the Medipex team also offer a variety of training and networking opportunities to the healthcare and healthtech innovation community with the aim of upskilling innovators to improve the success of their innovation activities and to foster an innovative culture within organisations.

Clinical Innovation Advisory Network

CIAN logoTo support innovators with the assessment and development of new ideas that aim to benefit patients, Medipex relies strongly on quality feedback from professionals in the healthcare sector. To obtain the best possible advice promptly, Medipex is looking to build a network of skilled professionals who are willing to support innovation by providing feedback (surveys and/or interviews) on innovations in their area of expertise on an ad-hoc basis.

Participation in each survey/interview will be voluntary, and you will not be obligated in any way to respond to any requests.  Where project-specific funding is available, we will be able to offer a financial incentive for feedback, and we will advise you of any such available reward during the first contact requesting your input on an idea. We do not anticipate needing to contact you more than 3 times in any given year, and it is most likely to be less frequent than this due to the highly varied nature of innovation ideas that we receive. The provided contact details will be used exclusively by Medipex and will not be shared with the clients or other parties unless you expressly permit us to do so.

If you are interested in being added to our Professional Feedback Database, please fill in a short registration form.

Innovation Champion Network

Innovation Champion NetworkThe aim of the Innovation Champion Network (ICN) programme is to promote innovation across all NHS staff roles and grades and to create a network of people interested in engaging in discussions and activities on the topic.   Medipex offers free training and networking opportunities for NHS service providers and commissioners, including a short ‘Introduction to Innovation and Intellectual Property’ workshop, which aims to provide important information that all NHS innovators need to know and to highlight the support available to them.  This workshop will be run regularly, with the first few dates already announced.  The training that Medipex offers aids compliance with the good practice principles of Step 3 in the recently updated NHS IP Guidance.

Any training opportunities that are currently open to attend can be found in our Latest section.
