LEAP (Leadership Engagement Acceleration & Partnership) - an EPSRC Digital Health Hub

LEAP数字健康中心是西南顶尖大学、全国20多家支持公司、许多NHS信托和健康委员会、4个社会护理组织、该地区的地方当局、英格兰西部学术健康科学网络(AHSN)、获奖企业孵化器SETSquared和英国健康数据研究(HDRUK)的合作伙伴。参与此次竞标的50多个合作伙伴包括住宿疗养院提供商的研究总监，到在重症监护病房工作的首席临床信息官；从一家女性科技初创公司的创始人到一家跨国咨询公司的医疗分析团队的负责人。在2022年6月和7月的研讨会上，他们告诉我们，数字健康与健康数据分析一样重要的是设计和用户体验；它的动机是患者利益，但也必须考虑行业可行的商业模式。所有Hub合作伙伴将可以使用位于布里斯托尔市中心的专用实体办公空间，旁边是EPSRC数字健康和护理博士培训中心(CDT)。在那里，他们将跨学科和部门一起进行培训、建立网络和进行研究。他们将与英国各地的合作伙伴接触--甚至更远的地方。意识到英国在数字健康方面的突破可能会在国外产生同样(或更大)的影响，该中心的新“全球数字健康网络”将该中心与来自美国、中国、印度、尼日利亚和澳大利亚的数字健康专业知识联系起来(B1.2节，B5节)。该中心独特的技能和知识计划旨在满足行业、卫生和社会护理提供者以及学术界的专业培训需求，这两个主题是转变医院以外的卫生和护理以及优化疾病预测、诊断和干预。这将是世界上最大的数字健康教育计划。Hub的奖学金计划将包括5个不同的计划，以培养未来的领导者，不仅在学术界、工业界和医疗保健部门，而且在社区内-作为患者或非正式护理人员。Hub的研究计划集中在Hub的两个主题领域内的竞争前研究：转变健康和医院外的护理以及优化疾病预测、诊断和干预。该中心将通过展示其合作伙伴健康和社会护理组织的健康优先事项，与英格兰西部AHSN以及中心成员，如首席护理信息官，以及慈善机构、社会护理提供者、患者和社区团体合作，来增加价值。

The LEAP Digital Health Hub is a partnership of the South West's leading Universities, more than 20 supporting companies nationally, many NHS Trusts & Health Boards, 4 social care organisations, the region's Local Authorities, the West of England Academic Health Science Network (AHSN), the award-winning business incubator SETsquared and Health Data Research UK (HDRUK).The 50+ partners that shaped this bid ranged from the research director for a provider of residential care homes, to a chief clinical information officer working in an intensive care unit; from the founder of a femtech startup to the head of the healthcare analytics team for a multinational consulting firm. In workshops through June and July 2022 they told us that Digital Health is as much about design and user experience as health data analysis; it is motivated by patient benefit but must also consider viable business models for industry. All Hub partners will have access to dedicated physical office space in central Bristol alongside the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Digital Health and Care. There, they will train, network and research together across disciplines and sectors. They will engage with partners across the UK- and beyond. Recognising that UK breakthroughs in Digital Health may be equally (or more) impactful abroad, the Hub's new "Global Digital Health Network" links the Hub to Digital Health expertise from the US, China, India, Nigeria and Australia (sections B1.2, B5). The Hub's unique Skills and Knowledge Programme is designed to address the professional training needs of industry, health and social care providers and academia within the two Themes of Transforming Health & Care Beyond the Hospital and Optimising Disease Prediction, Diagnosis & Intervention. This is proposed to be the world's largest Digital Health taught programme.The Hub's Fellowship programme will comprise 5 different schemes to develop future leaders, within not only academia, industry and the health/care sector, but also within the community - as patients or informal carers.The Hub's Research programme focusses on pre-competitive research within the Hub's two thematic areas of Transforming Health and Care Beyond the Hospital and Optimising Disease Prediction, Diagnosis and Intervention. The Hub will add value by surfacing health priorities from its partner health and social care organisations, working with the West of England AHSN and also with Hub members such as Chief Nursing Information Officers, with charities, social care providers, patient and community groups.
