We are often asked this question and it is a challenge to describe our role as catalysts and collaborators on innovation in health and care. This is one reason why we have taken the step of renaming ourselves the Innovation Agency, to emphasis our core purpose of being an agent of change through innovation. We proudly remain an Academic Health Science Network, one of 15 set up by NHS England who work together nationally as well as within our own regions. This will be reflected in our branding and in all our communications.
