Research theme: Health and Care
Our academic vision seeks to develop new models of health care delivery, health promotion and technology-enabled treatment models. This focus will reduce the burden of avoidable illness, reduce health inequalities and enhance the effectiveness of health and care interventions.
Our strong track record in health research is demonstrated through successful partnerships with healthcare organisations and across the pharmaceutical and beauty industries. We are also a major provider of expert practitioners to the UK and global healthcare sector.
This work takes place at the University of Bradford across multiple disciplines - you can see details of our research centres below, along with more information about our specific areas of interest and a selection of our success stories.
