Rehabilitation Research Group
Drawing on expertise from nursing, psychology, allied health professions and other related areas, our dynamic group focuses on a wide range of rehabilitation research.
Through randomised controlled trials, qualitative interviews, observational studies, mixed methods and service evaluations, our high-quality research has a powerful impact on improving patient care and treatment, while shaping policy and ensuring health professionals have the latest skills and knowledge.
Alongside leading on major projects, we collaborate widely with other universities and research centres, both nationally and internationally. We have secured funding from a wide range of charities and from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
