Innovation Agency

Dr Binita Kane, Health Innovation Manchester and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, speaking at the Innovation Agency's 21st Ecosystem event.  The devolution project in Greater Manchester allowed for a reassessment of priorities. Health Innovation Manchester worked with health and care and industry partners to determine those priorities: the system agreed that a radical shift was needed in how COPD patients are managed and a move from doctor-centric secondary care models to continuous community-based team support.
