About

The Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research Group sits within the Faculty of Life Science and Education. A vibrant multi-disciplinary research group comprising nursing, physiology, health psychology and human geography, it is centred around two broad health-related research themes that relate across the lifespan: Prevention and Intervention, and Policy and Practice Interface.

Research themes

Culture

The Lifespan Health and Wellbeing Research Group is focused on producing applied and impactful research that benefits individuals across the lifespan. We have a strong record of impacting on health and welfare, public policy and services for the benefit of regional, national and international communities.

Much of our research is focussed around hard-to-reach populations, disadvantaged groups and co-morbidity in a range of physical and mental health conditions.  

We have a long and proactive record of collaboration with external stakeholders including: the public, patients, carers and families; policy makers; the public sector; the community and third sector, including voluntary organisations; and industrial/ commercial partners. Our strategic mission is to continue to build on and develop these strengths.
