    Gates Cambridge Trust Gates Cambridge Scholars 2003 Gates Cambridge Trust Gates Cambridge Scholars 2003 Preface As the Gates Cambridge Scholarship program enters its third year, Melinda and I, and all those who work for the foundation in Seattle, are delighted with the rapid progress that has been made in establishing the program. There are now over 250 Gates Scholars – highly talented young men and women from all over the world – studying at Cambridge. We are encouraged that nearly a hundred scholars have successfully completed the course at Cambridge for which they were awarded a Gates Scholarship. My father, as the co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and a trustee of the Gates Cambridge Trust, has taken an active interest in this program. I know he looks forward to his visits to Cambridge, and particularly enjoys meeting and talking to the Gates Scholars. He has shared with me how impressed he is by the Gates Scholars’ enthusiasm and dedication, and by their willingness to put their higher education to work for the benefit of others. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is dedicated to improving people’s lives by sharing advances in health and learning with the global community. To that end, we need highly educated leaders, skilled in research and analysis, who will take a creative approach to defining and solving problems, so that we can address the injustices and inequities that abound in our world. Gates Cambridge Scholarships give young people an opportunity to develop and refine such skills. In Cambridge, Gates Scholars are able to work with distinguished faculty and other equally bright students from many different countries and cultures.

    Academic Health Science Centre Application for Designation PART 1 Cambridge Academic Health Science Centre 14th January 2009 1. Please provide (in no more than two pages) a description of your AHSC proposal. This should include an articulation of the goals and purpose of the proposed AHSC, and the role of each partner. Please describe what value you expect to deliver through an AHSC that could not be achieved through another type of partnership. Vision. The Cambridge AHSC will be a world-leading academic clinical partnership, improving patient care, patient outcomes and population health through innovation and the integration of service delivery, health research and clinical education. The AHSC partners. The Cambridge AHSC is a partnership between the University of Cambridge and its three principal NHS affiliates: Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (CUH), Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT) and Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (PH). This partnership brings together one of the world’s leading universities and three high-performing NHS Foundation Trusts. The University of Cambridge was ranked first in the UK and second in the world for biomedical and life sciences in 2008 (THES-QS). The primary partnership is that between the School of Clinical Medicine and the NHS, although there are increasing interactions with other Departments across the University. The clinical partners serve a population for local services of some 0.75 million and for regional services of up to 5.5 million and also provide some nationally contracted services (see section 4). CUH secured a ‘double excellent’ rating in both the 2007 and the 2008 Healthcare Commission performance ratings and was rated ‘acute trust of the year 2008’ by an independent panel for the Health Service Journal.
