Our cross-disciplinary health and social care research

We solve challenges relating to the interaction of human health with the economy, society, policy and organisations.

We investigate the interdependencies between human health and the broader economy, and the transformative role of work in enhancing engagement, productivity, and resilience.

Our research provides evidence-based and actionable outcomes that improve organisational, social, and economic outcomes.
