Improving outcomes for patients is at the heart of our research.  Our multi-disciplinary approach draws together expertise from across the University of Surrey and our NHS and other academic partners, in nursing and the allied health professions, clinical and bio sciences, health economics, sociology, health psychology, telecare and applied ethics.

We work closely with the Surrey Clinical Research Centre (Surrey CRC) and benefit from access to a team of academic experts who can assist with all aspects of trial design and management.  Surrey CRC's mission is to support the safe conduct of high quality, collaborative clinical research in world-class facilities.
