The Academic Health Sciences Campus (AHSC) aims to revolutionise medical education, research, and patient care. It will offer an unparalleled environment for interprofessional and multidisciplinary learning to provide students with a comprehensive and future-proof education.
The AHSC will sit next to the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, two of the newest hospitals in the UK. The Royal mainly focuses on complex planned care, while Clatterbridge provides specialised cancer care services for an area spanning two million residents.
By integrating cutting-edge technologies and embedding research, the AHSC will create a patient-centred "teach and treat" environment, with opportunities for clinical trials, research and development, and continuing professional development for NHS professionals. This will foster collaboration between university researchers, NHS clinicians, and patients.
Health Innovation Liverpool is committed to fostering dynamic partnerships with industry. Through collaboration, we aim to drive forward cutting-edge research and innovation that will translate into real-world health solutions.
Key features of the new Academic Health Sciences Campus will enable:
- Sector-leading facilities for training more health professionals, helping to meet the demands set out in the NHS Workforce Plan
- Unique authentic, relevant and interdisciplinary clinical teaching, including innovative simulation facilities with real-life scenarios to help integration with delivery of healthcare
- Showcasing of our world-leading clinical teaching capabilities across the Translational Readiness Pipeline
- Increased patient-based research, integrated into NHS care, providing access to research for patients at every stage of their care journey
- High-quality GxP research space, with direct access to University and NHS clinical research facilities, as well as the local population
- The University to retain an integral position in Liverpool City Region’s growing life sciences research economy, with a lead role in addressing the region’s health challenges
- An outstanding environment to attract and engage the highest quality staff and students.
A new clinical skills and health education facility would significantly improve and modernise the quality of health education for the next generation of health care workers across multiple professions.
