The WMAHSN leads and catalyses collaboration between academia, industry, health and care providers, commissioners, and citizens to support continuous improvement of the region’s health and wealth. As part of the national AHSN network, funded by NHS England, they seek out, test and accelerate the adoption and spread of innovative ideas and technologies with the potential to transform health and social care in the West Midlands and beyond.

They work in partnership with NHS trusts, SMEs, care homes and universities to spread innovations at scale and pace, ensuring that new healthcare and life sciences tools are available wherever they can make a difference. By enabling the healthcare system to take advantage of innovations that can help to save time, money and lives, the WMAHSN is working to bring the West Midlands the future of health and social care, today.
