The Reducing Drug Deaths Open Innovation National Catalyst Challenge is funded by the UK Government Office for Life Science (OLS) and the Scottish Government Scottish Health Industry Partnership (SHIP). The Open Innovation Challenge aims to support the development of disruptive innovative solutions that focus on detecting, responding and intervening to early acute risk of non-fatal and fatal drug overdose. The challenge ambition is to support pre-commercial experimental development, feasibility testing and evidence gathering which will support approval and commercial procurement of successful innovations across the UKs health systems.

This UK wide Open Innovation Challenge is managed on behalf of OLS and SHIP by NHS Fife, a member Board of Health Innovation South East Scotland (HISES).

SBRI Innovation competition on drug overdose detection, response and intervention

These posts will provide clinical advice and support for projects successfully awarded contracts under the Reducing Drug Deaths Open Innovation National Catalyst Challenge. This includes, providing clinical insight and advice into projects, liaising with project teams and providing a clinical perspective to awarded projects throughout their life span, which may include academic and industry partners. Awarded projects will run through the Small Business Research Initiative process (SBRI). Projects will be a mix of phase 1 - feasibility study projects which have not yet reached prototype development - and phase 2 - projects with technology already at an advanced stage of development, and near ready to be deployed in a real-world environment.

Projects will run across all 4 U.K. nations, and the post holder will be expected to support projects across the U.K. therefore applicants from all U.K. nations are strongly encouraged.

The post holders will be involved in working in collaboration with clinical teams, industry, academia, and NHS representatives from the U.K. devolved nations to support the innovative projects awarded as part of the Reducing Drug Deaths Open Innovation National Catalyst Challenge. The post holders will work closely with the Senior Project Manager and Clinical Lead for the Catalyst Challenge. The post holders will work closely with the other two other National Clinical Advisors from other regions of the U.K. devolved nations.
