How We Work

The AHSC uses its resources and role as a convenor to facilitate strategic alignment around research and education partnership activities by:

• Bringing new collaboration opportunities to its members including convergence science opportunities offered by Imperial’s Faculties – Medicine, Natural Sciences, Engineering and the Business School
• Connecting with other North West London NHS and health stakeholders to facilitate alignment of AHSC research capability with local needs and priorities
• Promoting collaboration and joint working through workshops and projects 
• Co-ordinating cross-sector bids for research and education projects
• Promoting the impact of the AHSC’s work to NHS staff, patients and the public through webinars and other communications content
• Developing and managing AHSC infrastructure – the Clinical Academic Training Office [CATO] which supports all members of the AHSC partnership and the Joint Research Office, [JRO] a partnership between Imperial and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust 

Based in North West London, the AHSC develops and evaluates its outputs and impacts locally, nationally and globally.
