The vision – a radical change in healthcare
To advance health and well-being by integrating world-class research, care, education and training through:
● Harnessing the power of discovery science to transform the nature of healthcare by moving from treatment towards population screening and disease prevention
● Recognising the special needs and inequalities in health among the local population and addressing these through earlier intervention and personalised medicine, as well as helping local people to maintain, improve and enhance their health
● Translating research more rapidly into clinical practice and effectively disseminating these advances through education and training
