CUHP
Cambridge University Health Partners (CUHP)
unites a world-leading University and three highperforming NHS Foundation Trusts centred on the
Cambridge Biomedical Campus.
It is one of only six nationally designated
Academic Health Science Centres in the UK.
CUHP will catalyse Europe’s largest and most
sophisticated biomedical community, in a region
that has the highest concentration of life-science
industries outside the USA.
Our aim is local integration of these unique
assets to achieve global impact.
Our purpose
The purpose of CUHP is to generate, transmit and
apply knowledge for improvement in health and
health care.
Our partners
CUHP is one of just six AHSCs and has four
founding members:
CUHP is rolling out an Associates programme to broaden
the impact and reach of our strategic priorities and
strengthen relationships across the region.
Our vision
CUHP will be a world-leading academic clinical
partnership centred on the Cambridge Biomedical
Campus.
It will be a global leader in improving patient care,
and will deliver outstanding patient outcomes and
progressively better population health.
We will achieve our vision
• By delivering the best possible care to our
patients through continuous quality
improvement;
• By providing outstanding education and
training for the healthcare and research
workers of the future;
• By making scientific discoveries that have the
potential to transform human health;
• By increasing the likelihood that scientific
discoveries will be translated into practice. We
strongly believe that progress towards each of
these aims will be mutually reinforcing.
Our goals
Generating
knowledge
Aligning services
between partners and
with the academic mission
Building
research capacity
Engaging our people
in mechanisms for developing,
diffusing and applying evidence for
improvement
Fostering innovation
in service delivery
Embedding
translational and
applied research in
service
Promoting
a service culture of systematic enquiry
and openness to innovation
Contributing
to a knowledge-based economy and the
economic and social development for the
benefit of the Cambridge sub-region, the
East of England and the UK as a whole
Engaging with
and developing the attributes that make
the Cambridge sub-region notable
as a system for innovation and building
on it to drive more effective translation
of scientific discovery to improved health
and wealth creation
Transmitting knowledge
providing a shared setting for the education, training and development of
healthcare professionals and the wider healthcare workforce that is characterised
by systematic enquiry and a commitment to the use of evidence in practice
Our programmes
We have six strategic programmes:

Medical informatics
Research
We will increase the effectiveness and impact of
R&D within the partnership by:
•
Undertaking health research amongst CUHP members and
related organisations within a simple, streamlined and
efficient research process that supports researchers and
brings maximum benefit to patients and the public;
•
Maximising the potential for effective working with industry
and other partners, and the exploitation of translational
research funding streams;
•
Optimising the use of routinely collected and other patient
data for research leading to improved health outcomes;
•
Designing clinical pathways and services within, between and
involving partner NHS organisations so as to support more
effective R&D, and improve patient experience and
outcomes;
•
Building human capacity for translational health research.
Education
We will provide outstanding education and
training for the healthcare and research workers
of the future by:
•
Providing high-quality evidence-based multi-professional and
uni-professional education and training that meets the local
needs of CUHP partners, and the wider partners of the
Cambridgeshire & Peterborough node of the EAHSN;
•
Providing a range of exemplar education programmes that
are attractive nationally and internationally, which are
founded on leading edge science research and translational
research, and make a major contribution to advancing
improved patient care;
•
Contributing to education and workforce development
research and innovation in collaboration with the Health
Education East of England and other providers of healthcare
education;
•
Supporting wider access to healthcare education, including
the development of the University Technical College.
Campus
Cambridge Biomedical Campus is a community of worldleading academics, clinicians, scientists and businesses
working together with patients, to improve healthcare
and quality of life.
We will develop the CBC to become a world leading
environment for patient care, training, discovery science
and translational research by:
•
Developing a strategic vision for the campus, with engagement of
a wide range of stakeholders;
•
Co-locating on the campus a broader range of organisations and
experts to add pace and scale to their leading edge work;
•
Creating a culture amongst the campus community of
collaboration and partnership working;
•
Ensuring, as the campus grows, that existing relationships and
collaboration are maintained and developed;
•
Positioning the CBC as a driving force for innovation and
enterprise, attracting global investment in medical research, and
creating and sustaining jobs.
Philanthropy
We will achieve a step change in our income from
philanthropy and to drive bottom-up imagination,
engagement and creativity within our
organisations by:
• Developing a series of visionary investment plans and a
framework for prioritisation;
• Optimising the structure of our fundraising and
charitable organisations;
• Developing a highly-effective fundraising capability.

Each of our three NHS organisations have good
clinical outcomes, and are committed to
continuous improvement in the care we provide
to patients. Our focus is achieving this is in:
• Patient and Public Involvement
• Integrated care;
• Patient safety.
Medical informatics
We will increase our use of medical informatics to
support a paradigm shift in clinical care, education
and research through:
• Developing a full electronic patient record
• Developing informatics to support research
• Delivering training in medical informatics
