We are a centre of excellence for generating new insights into contemporary health and social care problems and challenges for diverse populations across the life course (children and adults) through research. This includes work which focuses on the implications for gender, age, health inequalities and housing for health and social wellbeing, as well as for informing inter-professional and inter-agency practice. We specialise in innovative and methodologically rigorous research, with collaboration and user involvement at the heart of our research.
