The AHSC vision and mission

The vision for our academic health science centre (AHSC) is that the quality of life of our patients and local populations will be vastly improved by taking the discoveries that we make and translating them into medical advances - new therapies and techniques - and by promoting their application in the NHS and around the world, in as fast a timeframe as is possible.

Our mission is to make our AHSC one of the top five AHSCs in the world within the next ten years, channelling excellence in research to provide world-class healthcare for patients.

Achieving this challenging mission will significantly improve the quality of healthcare for the local community, London and the UK as a whole, and enhance the UK's position as a global leader in biomedical research and healthcare.
