The School of Health and Social Care fosters a multidisciplinary environment renowned for both research and education.
A key strength of our School is that numerous faculty members collaborate with NHS Trusts and local organizations, keeping us attuned to current connections between academic study, pressing societal issues, and practical applications.
We maintain specialized research groups in Professional Practice Development and Applied Health Research, and serve as the home for the NIHR Research Design Service in the East of England region.
