A3: Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy
Research is split into two broad health-related research themes that relate across the lifespan: Prevention and Intervention, and Policy and Practice Interface. These main themes are supported by five focussed but overlapping subgroups: the Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care (WIHSC); Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities; Promoting Lifelong Health; Genomics; and Addictions.
Research in this area focuses on hard-to-reach populations, disadvantaged groups and co-morbidity, in a range of physical and mental health conditions, underpinned by along and proactive record of engagement with external stakeholders including patients, carers and families; policy makers; and industrial/ commercial partners in health and social care.
