Our Vision: Today’s Child, Tomorrow’s Healthier Adult
A bold vision drives everything we do at Alder Hey Innovation. Our strategy, Today’s Child, Tomorrow’s Healthier Adult, reimagines healthcare for children and young people, not just for today — but to build a healthier future for generations to come. As healthcare challenges grow more complex, so too must our solutions. That’s why we’re revolutionising, democratising, and optimising the way care is delivered across Alder Hey and beyond.
Meeting Real-World Needs with Real-World Solutions
Shaped by the unmet needs of children and young people both locally and globally, our vision is rooted in reality. From rising demand in mental health services to widening health inequalities, the pressures on paediatric healthcare require bold, scalable answers. Our innovation strategy directly responds to these issues, leveraging emerging technologies to future-proof care models and address inequity head-on.
A Dual Approach: Culture Meets Commercial Focus
At the heart of our delivery model is a unique blend of creativity and commercial acumen. We foster a culture where clinical teams are empowered to innovate — and where innovations are developed with real-world impact and scalability in mind. Our Innovation Hub provides the perfect ecosystem to nurture this dual approach, bridging the gap between clinical insight and commercial potential.
Collaboration That Sparks Change
The Innovation Hub is more than just a physical space — it’s a living, breathing engine of progress. Here, clinicians, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders collaborate to co-create solutions that solve tangible healthcare problems. From rapid prototyping to scalable implementation and effective commercialisation, our model is designed to accelerate ideas into action.
By targeting both healthcare inequalities and operational optimisation, Alder Hey is ensuring every innovation improves patient outcomes and strengthens healthcare delivery — not just within our walls, but across the wider system.
