Test Beds relate to NHS Boards and/or Integrated Joint Boards working within the national Test Bed Framework to provide real-word explorations, trials and testing of ‘combinatorial’ innovation (new combinations of products and processes) aiming to improve patient/citizen outcomes at the same or less cost than current practice; whilst supporting economic growth. They are funded by the Scottish Government to provide Professional Leadership, Project Management and resources to free up capacity to innovate.
