Research and Development

Research and development are viewed as an integral part of the School of Health and Wellbeing's activities, underpinning learning and teaching within subject areas, ensuring the evidence–base for effective healthcare practice. Visit our Centre for Health and Social Care Improvement (CHSCI) for more information.

Cross school collaboration

Contributing to the health and social care education and practice development within the wider School of Health and Wellbeing is an important aspect of the work in CHSCI. Therefore is it imperative that the centre's focus on encouraging interprofessional collaboration begins directly with our highly qualified academic staff. In order to facilitate this each subject area within the school has a dedicated research link.
