We are Health Innovation Manchester, an academic health science and innovation system, at the forefront of transforming the health and wellbeing of Greater Manchester’s 2.8 million citizens.

Health Innovation Manchester was formed in October 2017 by bringing together the former Greater Manchester academic health science network (GM AHSN) and Manchester Academic Health Science Centre (MAHSC) under one single umbrella, which also represents Greater Manchester’s wider research and innovation system.

Health Innovation Manchester’s mission is to become a recognised international leader in accelerating innovation that transforms the health and wellbeing of our citizens.

We work with innovators to discover, develop and deploy new solutions, harnessing the transformative power of health and care, industry and academia working together to address major challenges and tackle inequalities.

Working at the forefront of healthcare innovation, working with partners to discover, develop and deploy new healthcare solutions we are able to harness the power of the NHS, wider health and care system, industry and academia within our region to address major challenges and tackle inequalities. Because of this we are fast becoming an international leader in health innovation and digital healthcare, transforming the health & wellbeing of citizens across Greater Manchester.

Partnership is the core of our work and through strong relationships and collaborative working we bring together expertise from across the system to turn great ideas into healthcare solutions. From clinical trials to digital tools, academic research to healthcare analytics, our work is wide-ranging, exciting and makes a difference to people’s lives.
