About NHIP

NHIP Vision

We aim to become the most integrated and innovative Academic Health Science Partnership in the world, working with innovators to discover, develop and deliver new solutions in healthcare, improving the population’s health for North East and North Cumbria citizens.

The Partners work collaboratively to translate world-class research and innovation into real world benefit, improving the population’s health and generating economic growth for the North East and North Cumbria region.

Academic Health Science Centres are designated by NHS England and NHS Improvement and the National Institute for Health Research for demonstrating excellence in health research, health education and patient care.

Our Strategic Priorities

Research & Translation

Building on excellent science, our research and innovation will translate discovery into real world benefit, reducing inequalities and improving health outcomes.

Economic Growth

We translate innovation into practice to develop and commercialise products to stimulate economic growth and support population health and wellbeing.

People & Culture

By building a culture of collaboration, and keeping citizens at the heart of our agenda, we are building a more resilient and skilled future-facing workforce and maximising local economic opportunities.
