About the Institute of Health and Society
The creation of the Institute of Health and Society in August 2006 marks a long standing aspiration to bring together researchers in the Faculty of Medical Sciences with those in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) whose work deals with health in its social context. Collaboration with other health professionals and colleagues from HASS will result in programmes of work in dental health services research and in communication disorders.
The Institute encompasses the former Centre for Health Services Research and Public Health Research Group, it also includes members from several Schools in both Faculties.
The new research Institute builds on a strong foundation of interdisciplinary health services, public health and social science research conducted both in the UK and several overseas countries and looks forward to further developing its national and international collaborations.
The Institute's Director is supported by the Health Foundation.
