Welcome to the Institute of Health and Society

The Institute of Health and Society makes a significant contribution to Newcastle University's mission of Transforming Health through the conduct of internationally recognised research on population health, health services and health-related social science. Please read the Institute Mission and Vision statements.

We carry out our research through a number of collaborative research programmes and through collaboration with health service commissioners and providers and with collaborating universities in the UK and overseas. Our research attracts funding of around £4 million each year from competitive national and international sources. Information is available regarding our Institute's Research Assessment Exercise for 2008.

The Institute also provides professional education in public health and primary care as well as postgraduate research and hosts a number of prestigious fellowships and studentships.

Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health, is a UK Clinical Research Collaboration (UKCRC) Public Health Research Centre of Excellence, which brings together the five North East universities and has its hub in IHS.
