Our Institute is an academic grouping focused primarily on Medical Education. Staff within the Centre for Medical Education are leaders in curriculum design, delivery and assessment - we host the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) in Clinical and Communication Skills. The Institute will harness these assets to invigorate our own curricula and to disseminate innovation and best practice externally.
The Centre for Health Sciences includes multidisciplinary research groups addressing programmes on respiratory and cardiovascular health, intimate partner violence, locomotor and pain, and lay-led self management. We have expertise in a wide range of methodologies notably randomised trials, use of complex interventions, translational, qualitative and developmental research. The Centre hosts the Translational Research Unit for the MRC Asthma UK Centre in Allergic Mechanisms of Asthma. Our research has direct relevance to patients locally, nationally and internationally. It also invigorates our teaching curricula at undergraduate and level postgraduate, and staff training programmes run for NHS and other staff which are vehicles for disseminating innovation and best practice.
