The Institute of Health and Wellbeing Research brings together research expertise from across the University to support applied research and innovation in health, wellbeing and human performance. Key themes of expertise include:

Integrated Care and Population Health

Cancer Survivorship

Sport Performance and Exercise Sciences

Research into Practice-led Education

The Institute of Health and Wellbeing Research benefits from strong partnerships with other organisations across academia, healthcare, business and public society. Our research and evaluation services respond to key health and wellbeing challenges, and lead to innovation across many disciplines of human performance. Our aim is to make a meaningful contribution to the local, national, and where possible international community.

We also aim to provide a supportive environment for our postgraduate research students, and we particularly welcome applications for PhD study within our areas of expertise.
