Access our support and expertise:
SBRI Healthcare has launched two new competitions in collaboration with the AHSN Network to support the implementation of mature innovations to address the following challenges:
Mental Health Inequalities in Children and Young People
NHS Reset and Recovery and New Ways of Working
Open to innovations in an advanced stage of development to accelerate the generation of evidence in Real World settings.
Funded by NHS England and NHS Improvement, SBRI Healthcare aims to develop innovative products and services that address unmet health needs. This Phase 3 competition is intended to accelerate mature innovations that are in an advanced stage of development, into relevant health or social settings, and to facilitate the generation of evidence in Real World settings required by commissioners and regulators to make purchasing or other recommendations/decisions.
The contracts awarded will be for a maximum of 9 months and up to £500,000 (inc. VAT) per project.
Mental health inequalities in children and young people
A large proportion of adults with mental ill health experience their first symptoms during childhood or adolescence. However, despite a well-recognised need for early interventions, the supports and services have not been able to keep up with the increasing demand.
The demand for specialist CYP Mental Health Services (CYPMHS) have continued to increase in recent years, leading to long waiting times and insufficient support, challenges that are particularly pronounced and exacerbated in BAME communities, low income families, and other marginalised groups during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NHS Reset and Recovery
The National Health Services, across all UK Nations, have faced a deep crisis since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, with staff working tirelessly to support patients, and all non-urgent planned surgeries postponed or cancelled to adjust to the demand of the pandemic.
Recognising the need to support the NHS services, to reset and recover from the pandemic, the programme seeks to address this immediate challenge with a funding competition that will facilitate the implementation of developed innovations in the relevant healthcare settings.
