Eastern AHSN (Academic Health Science Network) is part of a national network established by the NHS to connect all partners in the health sector. Our purpose is to help turn great ideas into positive health impact. We believe that great health is improved by great ideas, but great ideas only make an impact when they are put into practice. Our health is too important to leave change to chance. Citizens, academia, health services and industry will achieve more working together than they will in isolation. Our job is to make that happen. The Eastern region is home to some of the greatest science and the most brilliant health and care practitioners in the world. We want our region to benefit from both, creating better outcomes and more prosperity. We are ambitious for patients and committed to applying evidence to make change happen.
