Eastern AHSN
Eastern AHSN (Academic Health Science Network) turn ideas into health impact by bringing together all partners in the health sector to develop and deliver innovative care.
Our purpose at Eastern AHSN is to turn great ideas into positive health impact.
We were established by the NHS to convene all partners in the health sector, to develop and deliver innovative solutions in health and care. Our focus is the east of England, but we are part of a national network which enables us to deliver at scale.
Citizens, academia, health services and industry will achieve more working together than they will in isolation. Our job is to make this happen. We do this by helping innovators to navigate complex systems, generate value propositions and connect stakeholders to overcome challenges together.
