The work collected here reflects the programme’s core mission: to equip current and future leaders with the capabilities required to drive meaningful, evidence-informed innovation across health and social care systems.The contributions in this volume demonstrate the powerful intersection of scholarly inquiry and applied practice.

It is with great pleasure that we present the second volume of Innovation Academy: Innovation Management in Health & Social Care. Building on the foundations established in the inaugural edition, this publication continues to showcase high-quality research outputs and practice-informed projects from postgraduate learners on the MSc Advanced Health & Care Management (Innovation & Transformation). The work collected here reflects the programme’s core mission: to equip current and future leaders with the capabilities required to drive meaningful, evidence-informed innovation across health and social care systems.The contributions in this volume demonstrate the powerful intersection of scholarly inquiry and applied practice. Each project engages with contemporary challenges within health and social care—ranging from service redesign and innovation capability-building to transformational change and system integration. Collectively, these works advance theoretical understanding while offering practical, context-ready solutions. They exemplify the academic rigour of our learners and their commitment to achieving measurable impact within their respective professional fields.These projects also align strongly with national strategic priorities.
