NHS CEP is a free workforce development programme which supports NHS staff turn their most innovative ideas into solutions, to help meet NHS need by providing training and mentoring alongside the commercial skills, experience, and knowledge to bring innovations to market. This programme meets the need stated in the NHS Ten Year Plan which specifically references NHS CEP and PEP underlining their strategic value and the need for future expansion to support the evolving NHS workforce. In addition the UK Life Sciences Sector Plan outlines a key objective to develop a training and skills system that supports a diverse and highly skilled life sciences workforce. The ITT is for an enhanced programme which will contribute directly to this aim through a cohesive and comprehensive programme to include intellectual property learning sessions, 6 week pilot sessions, industry away days, intellectual property clinics, CPD accreditation, additional support to the Alumni network, enhanced mentoring and coaching, delivered via regular training sessions ‘Pit Stops’.
