The purpose of Imperial College AHSC is to align the research, education and clinical care missions of the partners and accelerate the translation of research into better patient outcomes and population health.
The AHSC’s vision is to reduce the burden of disease and improve human health by:
- Preventing disease wherever possible,
- Where ill health cannot be prevented, detecting it earlier, and
- For all diagnosed diseases, developing better disease treatments.
The AHSC forward strategy unites common priorities in the partner institutions and aligns with local and national health goals.
