Since SHIL came in to existence they have successfully developed many ideas and projects that have come from NHS staff. These vary from basic ideas to more complicated research projects. If you work in healthcare and you have an idea for a new product SHIL wants to hear from you.

Due to the high number of vision related projects that were emerging from NHS Scotland SHIL opted to set up a specialist brand within the business to act as a vehicle to take these directly on to the market.

SHIL also offers commercial opportunities to organisations with manufacturing, distribution and research capabilities. For more information please click here.
