Entity: NHSX

Category: Funding Support

Description: NHSX is leading the largest digital health and social care transformation programme in the world. With investment of more than £1 billion pounds a year nationally and a significant additional spend locally, NHSX has been created to give staff and citizens the technology they need.

1. Programme Title: SAIL Databank support.
. Summary: SAIL databank, a large collection of NHS and other health-related reference data from various sources, provided as a service to users of UK health data. It is regularly updated and tested.

2. Programme: NHSX's Techforce19 Call
. Summary: NHSX invited expressions of interest for the TechForce19 call. This enables innovators to test solutions that can support the elderly, vulnerable and self-isolating as COVID-19 continues to spread. The competition was aimed at helping in the community rather than seeking solutions that are trying to solve clinical problems or require integration with NHS systems. NHSX has been working with partners PUBLIC and the AHSN Network to run the fast-track competition for innovators, creating a pool of technologies that have the potential to be rapidly scaled regionally and nationally.
