Applied research to improve health and care across the East of England

Our theme focuses on communities experiencing the greatest mental health inequalities. We will improve access to support, strengthen services, and advocate for the needs of the health and social care workforce, including unpaid and family carers.

Our theme seeks to generate high‑quality evidence to improve palliative and end‑of‑life care experiences for everyone involved. We will address the inequalities faced by many groups and use these insights to inform palliative and end‑of‑life care services that deliver fair, person‑centred care for all.

Our theme tackles health inequalities by working with local communities and health and care organisations to improve access and outcomes. We will build the evidence for effective prevention approaches that improve population health and ease pressure on local services.
