Key Partnerships
UCLPartners
UCLPartners is an academic health science partnership with over 40 higher education and NHS members. It facilitates the improvement of healthcare through a range of clinical and academic designated roles, as an Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC), Academic Health Science Network (AHSN), an Education Lead Provider and aligned with the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care and the NIHR Clinical Research Network North Thames.
UCLPartners is the only academic health science partnership in the country to align all of these NHS and Department of Health designated roles under one umbrella to translate innovation into health and wealth benefits for patients.
The work of the UCLPartners AHSC is facilitated by the Health Partnerships team, providing coordination and project management support for the six programmes and three cross-cutting domains:
The Francis Crick Institute
The Francis Crick Institute is an inter-disciplinary medical research institute next to St Pancras railway station near UCL's Bloomsbury campus. Its work will help understand why disease develops and find new ways to treat, diagnose and prevent illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and stroke, infections, and neurodegenerative diseases.
It is a consortium of six of the UK's most successful scientific and academic organisations - the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK, the Wellcome Trust, UCL, Imperial College London and King's College London.
