Health Services Research
Health Services Research consists of investigation of the ways in which health services are organised, delivered and experienced and how they could be made more effective. This work is carried out in a range of settings in primary and secondary care including mental health, child health, diabetic medicine, neuroscience and complementary medicine. This work is underpinned by methodological research and development and a strong research infrastructure.
HSR researchers have particular skills in evidence synthesis; clinical research, trials and evaluation; health economics; service evaluation; and patient and public involvement in research. This work is supported by a range of funding bodies and includes several HTA funded clinical trials, evidence syntheses to support NICE decision making, NIHR programme and project grants, and projects supported by several charities as well as the Medical Research Council and other funding bodies.
