Academic Health Science Centres: a revolution in healthcare?

6 March 2009

King’s Health Partners hosted an international conference on 6 March 2009, discussing ‘Academic Health Science Centres: a revolution in healthcare?’

Presentations followed by question and answer sessions were given from a variety of healthcare and research experts from across the globe, within both public and private sector organisations.

The conference saw over 300 attendees from the UK and further afield, and was opened by Sir Alan Langlands, Principal and Chancellor for the University of Dundee. Other speakers throughout the day included representatives from US healthcare organisations and pharmaceutical companies as well as our own internal specialists in both research and clinical delivery.

The day ended on a positive, with a closing note from Ruth Carnall, Chief Executive for NHS London, whereby she gave her support to all the AHSC applicants, in what will be a positive change for the benefit of patients.
