Our Aim
To improve health through the clinical research of chronic diseases and health care, supporting evidenced based practice and policy.
Ethos
Outward looking group where strength is in the network of collaborations within IAHS, clinical partners (aided by joint contracts) and externally.
Research
Organised as three work programmes, each with a clinical lead.
- Neurology - Lead: Carl Counsell
- Renal - Lead: Angharad Marks
- Public Health - Lead: Corri Black
Cross cutting themes
Five cross cutting methodological themes underpin the work of the group and members of the group bring complementary areas of expertise.
- Data science
- Cohorts
- Descriptive and analytical epidemiology
- Evidence to inform practice and policy: evidence synthesis and RCTs
- Risk prediction/stratification
- Collaborations
-
In keeping with the ethos of the group, we lead or contribute to a substantial number of collaborations both within the organisation and externally. The group also host a number of chronic disease datasets.
For topic specific collaborations, see the Neurology, Renal and Public Health pages for further information.
