CW Innovation paves the way for new ideas – and new ways of using existing ideas – that will improve patient care, patient experience and the way our hospitals and clinics are run.
Led jointly by CW+ and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the CW Innovation programme looks for ideas and innovations that support the everyday care of patients. We have the people, partners and proven track record to bring these ideas to life.Â
