Clinical Research in Allied Health Professionals
Our applied and translation clinical research focuses on multi-disciplinary in-patient, out-patient, and community rehabilitation and recovery for acute illness and long-term conditions.
Focus of our research
Using the full range of applied and translational research methodologies, the Clinical Research in Allied Health Professionals cluster aims to generate high quality evidence to change practice and improve patient outcomes.
With our national and international partners, we undertake research to develop multi-disciplinary complex interventions and assess the feasibility of testing these interventions in clinical trials. With this knowledge, we undertake large scale multi-centre randomised controlled trials to assess clinical and cost-effectiveness, and investigate implementation within the healthcare system.
