Strategy for UK Life Sciences

Harnessing the NHS: The UK can do much more to harness the opportunity that exists in the NHS. There is huge potential to better support the adoption and diffusion of innovation, to access patient data to inform the development phase, and to involve patients in trials and early access schemes for the treatment of chronic diseases, such as cancer.

BIS, Strategy for UK Life Sciences, Dec 2011

Academic Health Science Networks as a National Resource

Building on the AHSC model of adoption and diffusion, we will establish a number of academic health science networks (AHSNs) across the country The AHSNs will present a unique opportunity to align clinical research, informatics innovation, training and education and healthcare delivery.

Todays programme

There are unprecedented opportunities to impact on human disease by harnessing science in a holistic way, and working together more effectively.

UCL Partners ENT programme provides a platform to explore such opportunities, working together to find ways that science can improve the lives of those with communication and other ENT disorders in our community.
