West Of England Academic Health Science Network (AHSN)

The role of the West of England AHSN is to deliver positive healthcare outcomes in the region and nationally by driving the development and adoption of new innovations and making a meaningful contribution to the economy. The impact of our work is far reaching: from enhancing patient wellbeing, saving lives and mitigating high risk incidents such as strokes; to enhancing efficiencies in healthcare practice and boosting the local economy through private sector collaborations. Our network includes a wide range of partners – health service providers, care professionals, commissioners, service users, the general public, businesses, universities and other research bodies – to act upon healthcare challenges and opportunities for the ultimate benefit of the patient.
