We work in partnership with public and private organisations across the innovation landscape to deliver our common goal of improving patient care.
What does Eastern AHSN do?
Eastern AHSN (Academic Health Science Network) turn great ideas into positive impact by bringing together all partners in the health sector to develop and deliver innovative care. We were established by the NHS and the Office for Life Sciences to work with academia, citizens, health services and industry to realise the value of innovations quicker. Our focus is in the East of England, but we are part of a national network that enables us to deliver at scale.
CONVENE
Citizens, academia, health services and industry will achieve more working together than they will in isolation.
DEVELOP
Health is improved by great ideas, but great ideas only make an impact when they are put into practice.
DELIVER
We deliver the national AHSN programmes and support the largest health and life sciences cluster in Europe, mobilising leaders and the community to embrace the future.
Our focus areas
We spend roughly half of our time on the adoption and spread of the national programmes delivered by the AHSN Network.
We spend the other half on areas of health consistent with the priorities set out in the NHS Long Term Plan and in the Eastern region and the areas where our region is best placed to make major advances. Following consultation across our region, we have defined four priority areas of greatest health need.
Mental health
Cancer
Rare diseases and personalised medicine
Living and ageing well
Priority enablers of change
The solutions to the key issues facing our health and care system will rely on three enabling areas:
The NHS workforce
Public and patient involvement
