Research

Research into the UK's health system is one of our core activities and has been since we were founded over 70 years ago. We undertake projects that will provide evidence on key areas of health and social care and which build upon our established areas of expertise. Our methodological focus is twofold: applying appropriate analytical techniques to the large amounts of existing data on care and combining this information with rigorous qualitative approaches.
