St Mary's Hospital, London, part of Imperial College Healthcare

In 2007 a review of healthcare in London led by Professor Lord Darzi, A Framework for Action, recommended the creation of a number of AHSCs in England.[2][4] In October 2007 Imperial College Healthcare became the first AHSC to be established in the UK when the Imperial College London Faculty of Medicine merged with the Hammersmith Hospital and St Mary's NHS trusts.[4] Four more AHSCs have subsequently been established in the UK and one is planned.[4] Funding mainly comes from NHS and work was already "in hand to identify the funding" when expressions of interest were solicited.[5] When contracts were signed with NHS in 2013, AHSCs shared among themselves around £60 million of funding. With a clear purpose, structure and approach of individual AHSCs is a matter for local decision especially with the contrasting approaches adopted as well as the differences in opinions voiced out by network founders.[6] In recent years, broader academic health science networks have also been created, mostly attached to original health science centres, although cumulatively providing national coverage.[7]

The following AHSCs are currently in operation in the UK:

• Cambridge University Health Partners, Cambridge[8]
• Imperial College Academic Health Science Centre, London[9]
• King's Health Partners, London[10]

In the United States, it is defined by the Association of Academic Health Centers as: "an educational institution that includes a medical school and at least one allied health professional school and either owns or is affiliated with a teaching hospital or healthcare system".[16]

The first AHSC was opened in 1823 as the Medical College of Ohio in Cincinnati, Ohio by Daniel Drake.[17][18] The center's teaching arm would later become the University of Cincinnati through a series of mergers and expansions.[19] AHSCs currently in operation in the United States include:
