About us

We bring together internationally excellent and multidisciplinary specialists to deliver research that makes a significant difference for individuals,  patients, communities and employers.

We collaborate with local, national and international partners to improve services and inform policy, practice and education.

Our research team uses its evidenced links with clinical practice to ensure that our research remains highly relevant to public health. And strong links to frontline clinical and social work practitioners, the pharmaceutical industry and others help our teams to deliver research that has real world impact.

The breadth of our expertise makes the centre an excellent place to conduct research. We have a thriving research community and support the academic growth of our researchers actively, whether they are starting their research career or leading their field.

We run the REACH (Research, Evaluation and Analysis in Care and Health) service - using our expertise to help organisations make evidence-based decisions that improve patient and business outcomes.
