The emerging insights highlight that successful innovation in the health system happens when combinations of drivers come together at national and local levels, and discusses how this happens in practice. These drivers span: skills, capabilities and leadership for innovation; motivations and accountabilities; information and evidence environments; relationships and networks; patient and public engagement efforts; and innovation funding and commissioning landscapes.

The insights also suggest that getting the best returns from the UK's health and care innovation requires designing approaches to innovation that:

• Use the opportunities of interdependencies between health and care sectors as an asset rather than a barrier, drawing on the expertise of both clinical and allied health and social care professions, and focusing on cross-cutting and complementary health sector priorities.
• Develop the relationships between macro-scale change (i.e. new policy developments driven by the national level), meso-level regional structures and processes (e.g. interconnected regional institutions that are both receptive to national policy and can help shape it), and micro-scale interventions (e.g. individual and organisational motivations and incentives).
• Use both structural and behavioural interventions to progress innovations across the health innovation pathway.
• Coordinate innovation and improvement policies at national and local levels for health and healthcare.
• Adopt a portfolio approach to innovation — responding to both quality and cost considerations and the motivations of different stakeholders.
