Research groups

There are currently five research groups developed from funded programmes led by a senior academic supported by post-doctoral researchers. 

The groups are:

• Supportive, Palliative and End of Life Care
• Mental Health
• Child, Maternal and Sexual Health 
• Education and Technology for Health 
• Neurological and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

We also work within interdisciplinary research groups based on collaborations with colleagues from other schools, other institutions and partners from the public, private and voluntary sectors.
