Academic Health Science Network
(AHSN) Definition
AHSNs have the potential to transform health and healthcare
by putting innovation at the heart of the NHS. This will
improve patient outcomes as well as contributing to economic
growth.
AHSNs present a unique opportunity to pull together the
adoption and spread of innovation with clinical research and
trials, informatics, education, and healthcare delivery. They
will develop solutions to healthcare problems and get existing
solutions spread more quickly by building strong relationships
with their regional scientific and academic communities and
industry.

What is it? Getting the picture….

NHS England’s Chief Executive, Sir
David Nicholson, said:
“The NHS is full of brilliant people with brilliant ideas. To
spread ideas right across the NHS means working
collaboratively with all those who have an interest.
“AHSNs offer a more systematic delivery mechanism so that
innovation spreads quickly and successfully through the NHS,
making the best possible use of precious NHS resources and in
ensuring the most advanced treatments, technologies and
medicines are available to patients.”

EMAHSN Clinical Themes
Great Care Frail Older People
The overall ambitious aim of transforming the services for older people in the
East Midlands so that they are fit for the needs of an aged and ageing
population.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Two discrete projects that address specific, high-priority aspects of long-term
care of stroke survivors were proposed to be undertaken:
• A checklist for the regular follow-ups for stroke survivors
• An effectiveness programme for community stroke services
Emergency Department
EMAHSN to support and co-ordinate any region wide approaches agreed by
Acute Chief Executives to address the issues of improving ED performance in
the immediate period, facilitating a pan regional improvement network that
maximizes existing expertise and best practice.

In the patient or carer's interest
New approaches, ideas or suggestions of whatever size, large or small, and from
anyone irrespective of their role or seniority
Not always doing things as they have been done before
Often small ideas that staff think about in their everyday work
Very often original ideas that go unrecognised as the innovator may be modest
about the change
Accepting challenge about current practice and responding to that challenge
Taking a risk to do something new or alter existing practice maybe a novel or fresh
idea
Improving something that's already good and sharing that improvement with
others
Ordinary things done in new or modified ways - a go head approach
Never too small or too insignificant to share; never too large or ambitious to be
considered!
