Our Research Themes

Inclusive involvement in research

Research on health and social care should involve patients, service users, carers and members of the public with different experiences.

Measurement in Health and Social Care

This theme works to measure and understand people’s health and care needs, and evaluate the approaches used to support these.

Mental Health and Wellbeing

This theme aims to improve mental health outcomes for those communities especially vulnerable to mental health inequalities in the East of England.

Palliative and End-of-Life Care

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.

Prevention and Early Detection in Health and Social Care

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.

Social Care, Dementia and Ageing

This research identifies the best ways to improve how older people and anyone living with multi-morbidity are supported by health and social care and their local communities to stay well and be active members of their communities.
