1. Understand the impact of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic in relation to innovation, research and collaboration across the health and care system
2. Identify any methods/practices which would support the development and adoption of high impact changes identified in the existing Beneficial Changes Network (BCN) evidence, whilst considering the impact on health inequalities
3. Propose recommendations to support current activities and inform future priorities of the Accelerated Access Collaborative and BCN, and the wider health and social care system.
