The AHSN Network
The AHSN Network enables the development of shared knowledge and culture across Academic Health Science Networks, while preserving the individuality and autonomy of each AHSN in its region. It undertakes only those tasks which, by agreement, cannot be performed as effectively by individual AHSNs. It has four broad functions: Shared expertise and learning Collective national voice National point of access Professional liaison and development The AHSN Network brings AHSNs together through regular meetings and fora that facilitate joint working across geographic boundaries and enable the exchange of information, skills, knowledge and experience. Information on the groups within the AHSN Network are provided below.
