Partnerships

Established in 2007, Imperial College Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC) is a partnership between Imperial College London, the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust and Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, focused on aligning expertise to turn science and engineering advances into new ways of preventing and treating disease.

The AHSC is a legally binding partnership that enables collaboration around some of the healthcare’s biggest challenges by aligning organisational strategies in research and education and the bringing together of researchers, clinicians and other NHS professionals.

A distinctive feature of Imperial College AHSC is its convergence science approach, which builds on the capability and expertise across all four of Imperial’s faculties. The NHS partners provide acute and specialist services to one of the most ethnically rich and socioeconomically diverse regions in the country.

The Faculty develops and maintains numerous other partnerships to advance its work. Examples include Imperial College Health Partners, which brings together NHS healthcare providers and leading universities in North West London. It is also the designated Academic Health Science Network for North West London. The Faculty partners with the NHS on a wide range of National Institute for Health Research projects that help facilitate ‘bench to bedside’ translation. Academic partnerships include: the Francis Crick Institute (with the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK, Wellcome, Kings College London and UCL); the MRC Laboraratory of Medical Sciences; and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine based in Singapore.

Health systems, women’s health, and multimorbidity is the focus of a five-year commitment between Imperial College London and the George Institute for Global Health. This follows a successful initial collaboration, announced in 2020, to drive the development and evaluation of innovative and sustainable global health systems.

Imperial has recently entered a new partnership with the University of Cumbria to launch a new graduate entry medical school in Carlisle. The partnership is the result of a shared vision to educate more medical professionals to serve their local communities, in regions with the greatest need.

The school is situated in an area of England where the recruitment and retention of medical staff remains a significant challenge.

With respect to corporate partnerships, the Faculty has strong links with Imperial’s dedicated team that works with academic staff to explore opportunities for research and translation for the mutual benefit of Imperial and industry.
