Against the odds: Successfully scaling innovation in the NHS
Innovation Unit, Health Foundation January 2018

• Ten stories of successful scaling – uncovering insights from both innovators and those adopting and adapting the innovation in a new context.
• Altogether Better Health Champions and Collaborative Practice
• Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating (DAFNE)
• Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)
• Florence (Flo)
• High Sensitivity Troponin testing
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
• Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT)
• Macmillan Cancer Nurse Specialists
• Rapid Access Intervention and Discharge (RAID)
• Schwartz Rounds UK
• Eight key insights were identified that describe the key enablers for scale both for those in pursuit of spread, such as innovators or those driving the scale of an innovation, and for those creating the conditions for spread, such as policy makers or grant funders.
• The report poses a set of considerations about what should be done to change the way innovations are supported to spread and scale across the NHS.
