Idea Drop: Using staff ideas to drive innovation in healthcare

By Indre Kulakauskaite, Idea Drop Added 11th Nov, 2019 Updated 17th Mar, 2021

Innovation often unfolds via a top-down approach within the NHS, with the most senior colleagues having the ability to share, broadcast and implement their ideas fastest. This can often result in the best ideas from frontline staff being lost.

Idea Drop makes the innovation process open and transparent, enabling all stakeholders across the NHS ecosystem to capture, collaborate and curate ideas via web and mobile. These can be contributed to structured strategic challenges from senior leadership or as stand-alone ideas.
