Health and Care Research Unit
The Health and Care Research Unit (HCRU) aims to carry out research that influences health care, social care and voluntary/charitable services practice and policy for the benefit of service users and the public. Researchers develop and evaluate services and technologies to measure the impact on user outcomes, service effectiveness and the wider social and economic effects. Themes include learning disability, palliative care, voluntary services, workforce, developing complex interventions, and using qualitative research with RCTs.

Mental Health Research Unit
The Mental Health Research Unit conducts high quality research to improve outcomes and experiences of mental health care for those with serious mental illness, their families and carers, and to generate evidence to inform providers of mental health care. Our research includes identifying ways to reduce the burden of mental health problems in the wider population, and to reduce mental health inequalities.
