Abstract

With top-down models of innovation failing to deliver, policy makers have proposed
that staff working on the front line might be best placed to innovate solutions to the
entrenched problems of healthcare. Drawing on a study of Employee Driven
Innovation in the UK’s National Health Service we explore the process through which
staff innovate without the resources that support policy implementation; the
translation of ideas from problematization to practice and the creative mobilisation of resources in a context of scarcity.
