Research and Evaluation
With health and care firmly at the centre of the Health and Wellbeing Academy focus, our ambitious portfolio of research, quality improvement projects and service evaluations prioritise informing health and care workforce policy and practices.
Our research is applied and has real world impact. We disseminate our research findings through multiple channels, including journals, policy briefings, seminars, webinars and conferences.
Our academics are skilled researchers with a wealth of insight and knowledge that can respond to business challenges, support innovation and encourage growth.
We would be delighted to talk to you and explore what we could do for your organisation.
