The staff have a portfolio of funded research in reproductive health, professional education and development, pain management and older adults, patient and public involvement in research, remote and rural health. Honorary staff have interests in end of life and palliative care, spirituality, practice development and learning disabilities. There are also strong links with research staff working in Academic Primary Care and the Aberdeen Pain Research Collaboration thus offering an opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration.  

Research Strategy

Aim

To conduct high quality research that makes a difference to patients, professionals and researchers in health and health related social care.

Objectives

• To maintain expertise and develop further our areas of qualitative and quantitative research strength in pain and palliative care, collaborating when appropriate.
• To conduct research of the highest methodological quality in accordance with research governance and ethical requirements.
• To actively involve service users to influence the research strategy and acknowledge the whole patient experience.
• To increase externally funded research
• To target high impact journals for peer reviewed publications along with professional journals that influence practice.

Students can therefore be supported in carrying out a range of projects as demonstrated on the our Research Projects page.
