Life Science & Healthcare

Manchester is at the cutting edge of health innovation. A city of firsts, Manchester introduced test tube babies to the world, pioneered hip replacement surgery and bionic eye implants. 

Manchester is the only UK city region to integrate health and social care and have devolved control of its £6 billion healthcare budget. This provides unique opportunities to improve patient outcomes, test new integrated delivery models, and adopt new systems and technologies.

As a result of devolution, all related commissioning will take place locally, giving direct access to one of the largest NHS clusters in the UK. All of this is underpinned by an enhanced digital-health infrastructure that enables world-leading informatics research and clinical trial opportunities.

A location for top global pharmaceutical, MedTech and healthcare companies, Manchester has a proven track record in establishing partnerships between industry, academia and the National Health Service (NHS). The city is home to Health Innovation Manchester, a unique partnership formed to speed up the discovery, development and delivery of innovative solutions. Addressing unmet clinical needs, its objective is to help improve the health of the almost three million people in Greater Manchester, and beyond. The eco-system provides invaluable expertise, and support, for businesses to navigate and optimise pathways to research, development and adoption.

Precision Medicine

Home to Europe’s largest single-site cancer centre The Christie, Manchester is recognised as a leading centre for cancer research and care delivery. The city region has also made significant investments into research initiatives such as the Manchester Molecular Pathology Innovation Centre (MMPathIC) and Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre. Along with the Centre for Genomics Medicine Research and the ability to access patient data, these facilities place Manchester as a leading centre to take forward this emerging area.
