National Employment and Health Innovations Network

This network provides regular opportunities for innovators and policy makers to meet to exchange ideas, experience and evidence covering the whole field of health and work.

It is sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions and supported by the Department of Health, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Scottish Government. The network is lead by Bob Grove.

Meetings are free. Members keep in touch with cutting edge developments in the field and each other through this network.

The Aims of the Network

The network aims to:

  • provide opportunities to share good practice and innovation in promoting health and tackling ill-health in the workplace; and reducing health inequalities through creating employment opportunities;
  • support the implementation of innovative projects and programmes by designing learning opportunities around key themes linking their work to Government policy objectives in employment, regeneration, reduction of health inequalities and social inclusion.
  • support the dissemination of evidence and good practice, and its integration into the mainstream modernisation agenda
