Our work in health uses bold ideas to create a health and care system that empowers people to lead healthier and more independent lives. We’re committed to using people power, smarter use of new technology and new methods to stimulate innovation in the health and care system.

We have been working on this agenda for the last ten years, with different partner organisations and in many different ways. We run practical programmes working with inspiring people and innovations - providing support and challenge through grants, investments, prizes and capacity-building. And we also work directly with citizens and frontline teams across the UK to drive change, such as through our 100 Day Challenge work.

Nesta is a fantastic nexus of policy and delivery. As well as driving real change in communities, our practical work makes our research, policy advice and recommendations richer and deeper than they would otherwise be.

The mix of research, events, advocacy, investments and grants has enabled Nesta to play our part in driving change in health and care over the last ten years.

We’re proud of the role we play and the people that we have had the privilege of working with along the way. Please scroll through to explore our story. And for more, get in touch with us at [email protected].
