We support evidence-based, equitable decision-making in health and social care to improve the health and wellbeing of people and reduce health inequalities in the North-West Coast.

Working together with health and social care partners and the public, we use our expertise in research methodology and research delivery to help people to understand, co-produce and use research effectively.

In developing our partnerships, we collaborate to grow a culture and environment that promotes the use of equity-sensitive research, producing new insights that are translated into meaningful impact.

Key topics: evidence synthesis, health economics, qualitative research, quantitative research, health equity, evidence into practice, research implementation, impact.

“Supporting people to understand, use and co-produce equity-sensitive research to improve health and wellbeing.”
