Care Across the Lifecourse

The CALC Research Theme Group are engaged in research and scholarly activity to shape the future of research and innovation across the life course within health and social care. We are passionate about working with populations and/or health and social care staff. Our research includes health and wellbeing initiatives for people at various stages of life and their carers/family.

Funding associated with this group originates from the Medical Research Council (MRC), National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) and NHS Health Education England.
