NHLI has launched our strategic plan for 2026-2031, including our vision, mission and aims. You can download a PDF of the plan using the button to the right or view the document [NHLI Strategy 2026-2031] online.
This strategic plan sets out how we will strengthen discovery, accelerate translation, develop our educational offer, invest in our people and culture and work more effectively across disciplinary, professional and organisational boundaries. Across research, education, people and culture, this strategy provides a framework for practical delivery. It sets out to support investment priorities, expectations for collaboration and mechanisms to support staff and students.
Our direction is ambitious, collaborative and forward-looking – shaped by our community and aligned with the wider ambitions of our Faculty and University.
