Northern England Health Science Alliance To Bring Israeli Health Tech To UK

May 20, 2018 | The Northern Health Science Alliance (NHSA), a system made up of eight research universities, eight teaching hospitals and four academic science networks across the north of England, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the UK Israel Tech Hub Wednesday with the purpose of bringing Israeli health and MedTech innovations to northern England. The agreement will support Israeli healthcare firms establishing a presence in the UK, specifically in northern England. The NHSA will provide support to these companies, identified by the UK Israel Tech Hub, giving them the opportunity to access UK clinical research in the region and engage with health research professionals, teams, and clinical experts for the development of tech that will benefit the Northern Health Science system. The MOU was signed by NHSA Head of Corporate Affairs Suzanne Ali-Hassan with the British ambassador to Israel David Quarrey at the Mixiii-Biomed 2018 life science conference in Tel Aviv.  “There are well over 1,400 life science and healthcare companies in Israel whose innovations have the potential to bring great benefits to the North’s hospitals and patient population,” Ali-Hassan said.
