Centre for Social and Health Research

The Centre for Social and Health Research is an inter-disciplinary research Centre bringing together experts in criminology, digital information, mental health, midwifery, nursing, sociology, social policy and social work to address global social and health challenges. These challenges include ensuring fair welfare systems and services, addressing health and social inequalities, modernising health and social care, crime and justice and sustainability. Our research aims to understand the delivery and receipt of interventions, practices and policies that face people, communities, services and places and often uses digital solutions to solve real world problems and make positive changes.
