Health & Patient Safety Research Lab
Systems and services
These projects looks at how healthcare can adapt to new demands and expectations. Professional roles are changing, as are treatments, and there is growing recognition that we need to take care to people in the community wherever possible. Ranging from new models for emergency and urgent care, to skill assessments for surgeons, all these projects are about improving the quality of healthcare services and involving patients in their own care and wellbeing.
