Leading the evolution of digital healthcare
At CoDE, we pioneer transformative digital innovation across healthcare, bridging technology and clinical practice to revolutionise patient care.
Located at the forefront of healthcare transformation, CoDE serves as a dynamic collaborative learning health system, fostering continuous learning and innovation through partnerships among healthcare providers, technology innovators, academia, and industry leaders.
Our Vision
To lead the evolution of digital healthcare by leveraging advanced technology, evidence-based research, continuous learning, and collaborative innovation. In doing so, empowering healthcare professionals to deliver exceptional patient-centred care.
Our Mission
Innovate: Continuously explore and integrate emerging digital technologies and learning systems into healthcare practice.
Collaborate: Create meaningful partnerships between healthcare practitioners, technologists, and academic researchers.
Educate: Foster a culture of digital literacy and continuous learning, empowering healthcare teams with knowledge and skills.
Influence: Shape regional and national healthcare policy through demonstrable innovation and continuous improvement.
Our Approach
Building a Safe Space for Real NHS Innovation: CoDE is a simulated environment where real-world NHS challenges meet cutting-edge innovation.
Grounded in the problem statements that matter most to clinicians, patients, and system leaders, our work creates a safe, controlled space to design, test, and scale solutions before they’re deployed at scale.
Learning Health Systems: Embedding continuous learning methodologies to drive innovation and improve outcomes through real-time data feedback.
Collaborative Research: Partnering with universities, NHS organisations, and technology firms to validate and refine digital health interventions in real-world settings.
Our Current Focus
In the face of the NHS’s urgent productivity challenge, we are helping to identify, test, and deploy technologies that release time for care, improve workflow efficiency, and maintain safety.
Through structured evaluation and close collaboration with frontline teams, we are building the evidence and infrastructure needed to support confident, large-scale adoption across the NHS.
Our work began with a focus on Ambient Voice Technology and AI Scribe solutions — a fast-moving area with real potential to reduce clinical burden and improve documentation.
Our Impact: Driving Digital Transformation at Scale, with Speed and Confidence
We are shaping a new model for digital innovation in the NHS — one that delivers change at scale, at pace, and with the confidence that comes from continuous learning and clinical engagement.
Scaling with Confidence: We go beyond pilots. Our approach supports safe, region-wide implementation of digital solutions across the South West and into other regions – grounded in robust clinical governance and real-world testing.
Accelerating Innovation Across the NHS: Through close collaboration with clinicians, technologists, academics and NHS leaders, we turn promising ideas into practical improvements for patients, staff, and systems.
Creating a Responsive Learning System: Our deployments include built-in feedback loops, enabling continuous refinement based on real-world use. This ensures technology remains effective, safe and fit for purpose.
Influencing National Practice: Our work informs policy, shapes best practice and contributes to a growing movement for smarter, more sustainable digital transformation across the wider NHS.
