Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust has supported the preparation and submission of the Oxford Academic Health Science Network's prospectus for designation from 1 April 2013.
The work has involved partners from the NHS, from universities, from local authorities, from local business networks and the life science industry within Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Milton Keynes and Oxfordshire.
