Hi - just suggesting some updates to the page as doesn't currently reflect UCLPartners structure ( I am employed by UCLPartners so wouldn't be appropriate to make these edits). For example in the intro, it just refers to UCLP as an academic health science centre, when it has other roles - more details of the structure are here: https://uclpartners.com/about-us/
Also the details under the research header are out of date (from 2010), again suggest "About Us" would have more details on this - https://uclpartners.com/about-us/
Thanks

*Information to be added or removed:
Suggest the following text is amended:
UCLPartners is an academic health science centre located in London, England. It is the largest academic health science centre in the world, treats more than 1.5 million patients each year, has a combined annual turnover of around £2 billion and includes around 3,500 scientists, senior researchers and consultants.
*Explanation of issue:
This text is based on sources from 2008/2009 when UCLPartners was first established and is now out of date. It does not accurately reflect the current membership, scope, and role of the organisation (for example UCLPartners has other designations aside from AHSC). Suggested text instead would be:
UCLPartners is a partnership of 23 National Health Service (NHS) trusts and 9 higher education institutions covering north central and east London and parts of Essex, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. Governed by a partnership board and led by clinical academics supported by a corporate senior team, its purpose is to bring together organisations to work collaboratively for the health and care of the population served.
*References supporting change:
The suggested text above featured in the following article from 2020: https://bmjleader.bmj.com/content/4/4/228#block-system-main See also history page on the UCLPartners website for a timeline of changes: https://uclpartners.com/about-us/our-history/

Could the "Research" section be updated as is out of date. (I work for UCLPartners so wouldn't be appropriate for me to change). The new priority areas are:
respiratory health
dementia
vision
cardiovascular health
adolescent mental health
early cancer detection
climate
healthcare system design
For reference, they can be viewed here: https://uclpartners.com/our-priorities/
Also suggest removing: "According to the independent Thomson ISI Essential Science Indicators, which assesses organisations according to the number of highly cited publications produced, UCLPartners is ranked: first in the world for research into
ophthalmology; second in the world (and first in Europe) for
neuroscience; first in Europe for
clinical medicine; and second in Europe for
immunology." This information is from 2010 and refers to other organisations we partner with rather than UCLPartners itself.

Hi, please could the first paragraph be edited as this is now out of date and does not accurately reflect UCLPartners, particularly being the largest academic health science centre in the world. I am a employee so not appropriate for me to make the changes.
It would be more accurate to say we are a health innovation partnership, which includes being an academic health science centre and an academic health science network. There are more details here: Who we are - UCLPartners
Thanks for your help, please let me know if you need more info.

As I am an employee of UCLPartners, I cannot make these changes myself.
Thank you

Could the suggested changes above be addressed? I am an employee at UCLPartners and can't make these changes myself.
