Accelerated National Innovation Adoption (ANIA) pathway

The Accelerated National Innovation Adoption (ANIA) Pathway is a Chief Scientist Office funded programme focused on using technology to fast-track proven innovations into the healthcare frontline on a Once for Scotland basis.  

It is delivered in collaboration with a range of national organisations to combine the right skills and capabilities across Scotland to reduce the barriers to national innovation adoption. 

ANIA will ensure the quick and safe rollout of technological innovations that will improve patient outcomes, improve patient and staff experience and which are both financially and environmentally sustainable.

Early areas of focus for the work include innovations that optimise delivery of care in heart failure, dermatology, theatres and cancer.
