Intro to Birmingham Health Partners
Birmingham Health Partners (BHP) transcends organisational boundaries to rapidly translate healthcare research findings into new diagnostics, drugs and devices for patients.
It is a strategic alliance between the University of Birmingham and two NHS Foundation Trusts – Birmingham Women’s & Children’s, and University Hospitals Birmingham – where members collaborate to bring healthcare innovations through to clinical application.
Its unique ecosystem enables the full spectrum of translational medicine: encompassing health data; an established local health system; academic excellence; and an extensive clinical trials capability.
Pioneering and life-changing work takes place across a number of leading facilities, including the Institute of Translational Medicine. BHP’s next capital project is Birmingham Life Sciences Park, which will enable productive interactions between clinicians, academics, industry and patients to accelerate the field of personalised, precision medicine.
By enabling integrated, multidisciplinary working, BHP helps bring about answers to complex healthcare issues for the direct benefit of people worldwide.
Our vision is to become a leader in translational medicine and introduce new diagnostics, devices and drugs for the good of patients in the Midlands and beyond
Our mission is to bring healthcare innovations rapidly to clinical application, by harnessing the collaborative research strengths of the University, NHS and industry
