Our interdisciplinary strengths build upon existing skills in qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods research. Previous research across the lifecourse has included the effects of visual and communication difficulties; evaluating the impact of interventions designed to improve health and wellbeing; care and family relationships, identity and intimacy; later life, frailty and co-morbidities; as well as palliative and end of life care. The ‘health and wellbeing in adulthood and later life’ research theme aims to develop opportunities for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and innovation through a range of activities including seminars, workshops, Patient & Public Involvement (PPI) and grant capture.
