We combine specific expertise in musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and mental health with methodological strengths in prognosis research, use of electronic health record data and linkages, intervention development, process evaluation, pragmatic trials, and implementation.OverviewWe are proud members of the PHRESH Consortium of three leading universities in the West Midlands - Birmingham, Warwick, and Keele - providing a highly supportive public health research and training environment, as part of the NIHR School for Public Health Research.Our public health research links to Keele’s Institute for Global Health, whose focus is on research in partnership with low-income and middle-income countries, and to Keele’s cross-sectoral Institute for Social Inclusion.At the core of all the School's research are patients and the community, and we have a Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) team who support and develop all PPIE activities for the School.Research interestsMusculoskeletal healthMental health and wellbeingCardiovascular HealthHealth inequalitiesElectronic Health Records and data linkagesIntervention development, co-production, process evaluation, pragmatic trials and implementationGlobal Public HealthApplied statistical methods and prognosis researchEpidemiologyUnderserved populationsLife expectancies UK student visa regulations mean that students classed as overseas for fees purposes may normally only register on a full-time basis, unless they are Distance Learners.
