Digital Health and Evidence-Based Practice

Knowledge, and information permeate all aspects of the digital society and are the cornerstone of evidence-based-practice.  Led by Professor Alison Brettle, research within this theme aligns closely with the Long Term Conditions theme and includes transdisciplinary collaborations across the health and social care professions, information science and digital and social media to improve access to health and social care information to enable and support people to manage their own health.  Other areas of work include systematic and scoping reviews of evidence to inform practice and policy making and evaluations of health library and information services.
