Long-term Conditions and Ageing Research Cluster
Our vision is to ensure provision of high quality, values-based health and social care research across the life-span.
Research interests
Effective management of people with long-term conditions is a priority within health care and an ageing population. Our activities are designed to develop and strengthen local, national and international collaborations enabling the delivery of high quality, values-based health and social care practice across the lifespan.
Our research focuses upon dementia care, frailty and multi-morbidity in older people, non-medical prescribing, self-management of long-term conditions, workforce preparation and models of care.
