We bring together health and social care professionals, researchers, and the communities we serve. We aim to ensure future research meets a wide range of health and social care needs.

This theme aims to reduce social and health inequalities for people with mental health difficulties, especially in communities with high health needs.

Over 500,000 people die in England and Wales each year; including more than 50,000 in the East of England. There is a pressing need for improvements in palliative and end of life care (PEoLC).

In partnership with the other ARC themes, this theme aims to significantly add to the evidence base and apply evidence on using data in the best way to understand population health needs and outcomes.
