Planbox will support SLaM NHS Trust in its mission to become the best and most innovative mental health institution in the UK by 2026.
Kington, United Kingdom — Planbox, the world’s pioneering agile innovation management platform, has been selected by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) with the widest range of mental health services in the UK.
The Trust is on a transformative journey to make innovation happen naturally and part of everyday work. The Trust is making a momentous shift toward a future-fit mindset, paving the path for a new organisational culture that lives and breathes innovation.
Stuart MacLellan, CIO, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, said: “The Trust is at the forefront of digital innovation. With our current portfolio of IoT, AR/VR, and health-tech prototypes and Cloud Service, we partnered with the global leader in innovation management to make innovation a discipline — a core competency that is interwoven in the fabric of our cultural DNA and made equally inclusive and accessible to everyone.”
“The Trust’s investment will support pockets of innovation, empowering us to make more strategic decisions. These are very exciting times. We will integrate Planbox’s top-ranked innovation management platform with medical and academic research repositories with partners, healthtech resources, and Microsoft Teams. These integrations will provide Trust employees with a constant flow of internal and external insights that will shed light on untapped opportunities while stimulating creative concept development. Staff will also benefit from a seamless experience that allows them to collaborate and contribute to ideas without ever having to exit their workspaces in Teams which has been widely adopted at SLaM,” said McLellan.
The Trust will leverage the creative brain power of a vast innovation community comprising 7,500 clinical and academic employees across all seven hospitals and more than 100 offices throughout the country’s capital, including its partners, King’s College London, The Centre for Translational Informatics, NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre, South London Partnership and King’s Health Partners.
The cocreation ecosystem will collaborate on ways to unlock new business value, deliver world-leading mental health services by 2026.
“We look forward to leveraging the creative, clinical, and academic potential of everyone within our organisation to support us to become an outstanding Trust by 2026,” said MacLellan.
