Wellbeing, Health and Social Care Research Centre

WHSCR’s Values

Equity and Social Justice

We are committed to reducing inequities and challenging structural disadvantage.

Prevention and Sustainability

We promote early intervention and long-term thinking over crisis-driven responses.

Community and Partnership

We work collaboratively with practitioners, policymakers, service-users and third-sector organisations.

Lived Experience

We centre the voices and expertise of those directly affected by health and social care systems, including those who have traditionally been underserved (by health and care systems, and by research)

Methodological Innovation

We value rigorous, participatory and creative approaches that generate inclusive and socially meaningful knowledge.

Rigour and Integrity

We produce methodologically robust, ethically grounded research.

Impact and Public Value

We seek to influence policy, improve practice and contribute to wider societal benefit.
