We work to transform health and care for all through evidence-based innovation. We focus on health and care challenges where we believe we can make the greatest impact; from health policy to medical robotics, the breadth of what we do is one of our defining strengths. By blending the varied expertise of our Centres of Excellence, our multi-disciplinary Institute has the agility to respond to emerging needs as they arise. 

We're working towards a future where healthcare is better, safer and more equitable across the globe. Our approach is to identify, develop and implement evidence-based innovations, leading to sustainable improvements in health and care.

To realise our vision, we:

  • design and diffuse high-impact global healthcare innovations to improve the quality and safety of care 
  • deliver world-class educational programmes to establish the next generation of leaders in healthcare
  • translate cutting-edge research to drive real change in areas in need of transformation
  • put people at the heart of everything we do, involving patients, the public and healthcare professionals in every stage of our work.

Our work is made possible through our seven Centres of Excellence that innovate across medicine, policy, technology and design.

See examples of our work across these priority areas from our most recent annual report.

We bring core areas of expertise to make a difference globally through innovation in five priority areas:
