Our work is based in the insights and theoretical frameworks generated by foundational disciplines (such as psychology, sociology, policy studies, mathematics, and economics) working with all professional groups in health and social care, and patients and carers. Our research strength covers the life course from maternal and child health, though mental health to long term conditions, obesity and metabolic disease, and frailty and dementia. Using a range of applied methods, we address key interfaces, those between: technology and the human; health care and social care; mental and physical health; and hospital and community.
