Mission
Our mission is to improve the health outcomes, well-being and lives of children and young people and their families across their life course through a multi-disciplinary and integrated programme of translational health research and innovation which has national and global reach and impact.
Children and young people are defined herein as any infant, child, and young person up to 25 years in line with the WHO standards (2012).
Aim
Our aim is to develop our reputation in research for babies, children, and young people (BCYP) and their families working with our local, regional, national, and international health and care partners in the development and evaluation of research and innovation that is theoretically rooted, evidence-based and impactful in research.
Research is our core business. Babies, children, and young people (BCYP) health and care needs are complex, and healthcare therefore needs to be integrated into wider systems of family, schools and the community.
Our dedicated CYPHR group conduct high quality, world-leading research, innovation, and education which is needed to improve outcomes, care, and lives.
