An Important Influence
The Community and Health Research Unit (CaHRU) is a University recognised research centre.
CaHRU鈥檚 mission is to increase people鈥檚 health and well-being by improving the quality, performance, and systems of care across the health, social, and third sector care services through our world-leading interdisciplinary research. Our work promotes high-quality care to enhance the experience, safety, effectiveness, efficiency and equity of healthcare by examining and transforming the performance and function of health and social care practice, organisation and delivery.
Our Research Is Different
The aim of our work is to engage service users, carers, practitioners, managers, commissioners, and policymakers in our research activities whilst maximising the impact of our research by responding to service priorities, working with service users and care organisations to embed research findings into practice through a variety of media.
CaHRU is at the forefront internationally of translational and implementation research in the prehospital and primary care setting which identifies gaps in care, develops interventions to address these gaps and evaluates the effects of these interventions, using a variety of methods ranging from systematic reviews, through qualitative, quantitative, and mixed designs to clinical trials.
