Our vision is to deliver high-quality research that informs and addresses the aspirations outlined in local, national, and international policy and legislative agenda making a real-life positive difference to people, communities, and society.
Our thriving multidisciplinary community reflects the diversity of disciplines engaging and collaborating to improve health and wellbeing. We aim to inform global policy and practice and enable a sustainable environment to nurture the next generation of researchers.
Our research outputs generate new evidence for cancer care, maternal and child health, mental health service delivery, health economics and medicines management.
We encourage and support researchers in engaging with end-users and beneficiaries in research design, we foster close relationships by involving the public during data collection, and analysis, and to maximise impact in terms of its reach and significance. We engage with government and other organisations via evidence briefings and expert advice to facilitate communication, implementation, and impact. Examples include our work on breastfeeding (engaging with UNICEF and WHO), mental health services research (engaging with Department of Health England and Chief Nurses Office Wales) and health economics and evaluation expertise (SHUHB).
