Academic Groups

Our Academic Groups, who all function under the umbrella of the IAHS, cover specialties in both clinical and non-clinical (methodological) areas of research.  The majority of our research addresses issues particularly relevant to the clinical topics of  musculoskeletal disease (including chronic pain), reproductive health, respiratory disease , urology eye disease, mental health, renal medicine and cancer.  Our groups undertake internationally competitive research in three strategic themes of work:

• Symptoms and early diagnosis
• Evaluation of healthcare interventions
• Delivery and organisation of care

Facilities and services supporting our research allow us to spread best practice and continue to develop our research in the future.
