Skip to 0 minutes and 21 seconds Hello, my name is Phil Padfield, and I’m the Director of the Manchester Academy for Healthcare Scientist Education. Innovation is the process of generating, and then applying, new ideas and ways of working. It is vital if health services are going to rise to the challenge of meeting the healthcare needs of the 21st century. Innovation will lead to greater advancements in preventative healthcare, address health inequalities, improve methods of diagnosis and treatment, and will also allow healthcare professionals to provide a high-quality service that is also cost-effective. Healthcare scientists use their specialist scientific knowledge and skills to inform over 80% of patient diagnoses.
Skip to 1 minute and 5 seconds They are in a unique position to undertake scientific research within their own clinical setting and identify, develop, and deliver innovative solutions that are needed to address the current and future healthcare needs. The Manchester Academy for Healthcare Scientist Education, through Manchester Metropolitan University, have developed this course especially for healthcare science staff working within the National Health Service in the UK. You may have an innovation in mind already, or are keen to improve your own healthcare service.
