Selection Criteria

Applications will be shortlisted by the relevant theme leads, a selection of the technical leads, and relevant HRC team members to understand:

  1. The product/idea: What is it and how does it differ from what is currently available or how will it improve patient care?
  2. The rehabilitation application: How is it supporting rehabilitation and how is it innovative?

Applications will be scored and ranked. It is anticipated that the top 8 applications will be invited to do a short presentation and a question-and-answer session at the selection panel.

The panel will be held virtually on Teams, and more information will be provided in due course.

We look forward to hearing about your innovative ideas!
