Summary The School has a tradition of attracting research funding from a wide variety of research funders at both National and European levels and this research income has grown exponentially over the last decade. The School also has a history of collaboration at both University, Local, National, European, and International levels and this is set to continue into the future. This research activity has impacted positively on patient care and healthcare policy. These in turn have informed the future strategic direction of the research in the School and the enhancement of the research themes of Translating Innovation and Evidence for Health, and Healthcare Experience, Engagement and Reform. As the research in the School goes from strength to strength, the development of a world-leading research centre will bring together research expertise to develop major programmes of research that will impact on the key challenges facing healthcare now and in the future.
