## Description
This is a Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Competition funded by the Welsh Government. SBRI funds the Research and Development of new exciting, innovative solutions to address unmet needs where no readily available market solution exists
Applications are invited for an exciting opportunity for funding to work with the Welsh Ambulance Services Trust (WAST) and Health Boards within Wales to reduce the unprecedented demand on both ambulances and Urgent & Emergency Care services across Wales.
Our patients are waiting longer than they should for an ambulance response and once at hospital (Emergency Department (ED), can spend a considerable amount of time in the ambulance before handover to the ED clinical teams.
We would like to be able to transform the way urgent and emergency care is given, looking to support WAST’s strategic ambition to care for more patients in their own home or in a community setting, thus safely reducing the number of patients requiring conveyance to hospital.
We would like to invite industry to enable us to provide care closer to home. Innovative solutions are sought to enhance one (or more) of the themes:
-	Improving capabilities in the pre-hospital setting that can enable patients to be cared for closer to home. This could include Point of Care Testing (e.g. blood tests with rapid results), wearable technology solutions and mobile scanning equipment; and
-	Use of technology to support patient care, enhance communication and improve patient safety during initial diagnosis or in cases of prolonged community waits for an ambulance or 111 response, or awaiting an urgent appointment at a place definitive care”.
Phase 1: Development – From a total of 225,000, we expect to fund up to 3 projects up to a value of 75,000 (inclusive of VAT) each.
Note: Only projects successful at Phase 1 will be eligible to apply to Phases 2 and 3.
Phase 2: Testing – This Phase will be to robustly test, in a real-life environment, up to 3 of the successful Phase 1 solutions from a total fund of up to 800,000.  We expect to fund up to 3 projects at up to 265,000 (inclusive of VAT) each.
In applying to this Phase 1 competition, you are entering into a competitive process. Any adoption and implementation of a solution from this competition would be subject to a separate, possibly competitive, procurement exercise. This competition does not cover the purchase of any solution, although we will investigate and explore innovative procurement routes as part of this challenge, should a successful solution emerge.
SBRI Competitions are open to all organisations that can demonstrate a route to market for their solution.
