Health Research Methods

Researchers in the Health Research Methods Unit aim to understand and improve the health and well-being of people with long-term conditions. Their expertise includes:

Longitudinal studies in illness patterns and trajectories.
Exploring people’s experiences of living with long-term conditions.
Developing and assessing the effectiveness of psychological interventions for people with long-term conditions.
Developing effective ways of supporting people in managing their health care needs.

By bringing together clinical teams and academic groups, along with expertise in the development of grant applications and the conduct of clinical trials, the Health Research Methods Unit facilitates the development of powerful working groups who have had considerable success in gaining external funding, delivering clinical trials, and producing high-impact research.
