What is the fund?

BHF is seeking to test and evaluate innovative approaches to the delivery of improved services for patients with cardiovascular disease.

• scoped by an appropriate group of stakeholders and are ready to be tested and evaluated in practice, or
• tested locally by an appropriate group of stakeholders and are ready for early stage of scaling

Specific information on the criteria for these two types are within the Innovation Fund Presentation.
