About our research
Our research is organised into cross-cutting research themes and research clusters which together build a knowledge base that informs a matrix approach to our work at the School of Health Sciences.
We are passionate about:
- Conducting the right research in the right way, by involving patients, family members and other stakeholders in the design and conduct of our research.
- Collaborating closely with the NHS and other healthcare organisations and agencies nationally and internationally.
- Developing researchers for the future.
- Enhancing health outcomes for patients, families and societies.
Research themes
Our themes are areas or threads of work that are common across our research. They consist of teams of researchers who provide support and feed into the overarching philosophy of the School of Health Sciences.
Research clusters
Our research clusters consist of groups of researchers who have an interest in a disease, a group of diseases or research into a particular client such as maternal health and child.
Postgraduate research
Our work with doctoral-level students is integral to the School's vision.
