A shared vision

Warneford Park will provide a new, fit-for-purpose mental health hospital surrounded by a research and innovation hub.  This hub will aim to tackle some of the most important issues in brain health by discovering new drug therapies, and new forms of treatment.  A new generation of research will link fundamental discoveries to new clinical practices, treatments and globally-scalable pharmaceutical products, faster than ever before.
