Tools, training and incentives
We're really pleased to share some fantastic resources and opportunities with you in this month’s newsletter. There is a great opportunity called The Common Ambition, available from The Health Foundation, a delayed transfer of care improvement tool from NHS Improvement and a not-to-be-missed webinar from Healthcare Improvement Scotland. Have a read and share these opportunities with your colleagues.
In other news, the PSC team have been out and about this month, continuing to deliver our national programmes. Read about our second Long Term Ventilation Tracheostomy event below, which was a brilliant success.

Tuesday, 31 December, 2019
Welcome to the December edition of INSIGHTS from the NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) - the last of 2019. This year was a busy one for our innovators: NIA innovations are now available in over 2,120 NHS sites and Fellows have now raised a total of £134.4m in external funding. We will be welcoming our 5th cohort of Fellows in March 2020 and look forward to continuing to share insights with you in the new year. Read on for the latest updates from our Fellows and a recap of this year's most read blog posts.
Read the stories from innovators and fellows in 2019. You will remember Arjun Panesar, who presented his low carb programme to the Citizens' Senate. I believe one or two of you elected to trial the programme?
