Plans for Warneford Park took a step forward as partners in the project signed a Conditional Option Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding, agreeing how they will work together going forward. If plans are approved, Warneford Park will provide a new mental health hospital alongside a major brain health research and innovation campus and a new postgraduate medical college of the University. This hub will aim to tackle some of the most important issues in brain health by discovering new drug therapies, and new forms of treatment which will have a positive impact on patient care not just here in Oxfordshire, but across the NHS and globally.  To make this vision a reality Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust are working in partnership with the University of Oxford and a philanthropist. Professor Keith Channon, Director of the Oxford Academic Health Partners, which brings together Oxford’s NHS hospitals and universities to facilitate partnerships for research, education, and clinical delivery, said: “Warneford Park’s compelling plans combine Oxford’s strengths in multi-disciplinary research with new in-patient services and clinical training to create a brain sciences campus with potential national and international significance. This transformation is strongly supported by Oxford Academic Health Partners.” ➡ Read more: https://lnkd.in/eGZRRduP
