RESEARCH

Our purpose is to contribute through our research to health and healthcare in the UK and internationally. We examine the economic aspects of health and disease, the costs and benefits of prevention and treatment, and the design and evaluation of health systems. Of particular importance in all areas is the rigour and innovativeness of the research methods we use
