systems and public involvement. Recent research projects carried out by our students include purchaser provider reforms, national health insurance system design, the UK private medical insurance sector, and public and patient involvement. HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY MPhil/PhD FT PT The importance of psychological factors in promoting good health and managing illness and health risks is an increasingly important field of study. Research students are currently examining the psychological factors in promoting good health, and developing interventions to encourage children, young people, and pregnant women to engage in healthy lifestyle behaviours. HEALTH SCIENCE MPhil/PhD FT PT Designing and carrying out the bioscientific research that provides the evidence base for health policy and practice, our researchers are actively contributing to improvements in services for patients and practitioners alike. Currently students are exploring the anti-fungal properties of maggot secretions and the antimicrobial properties of invertebrates, and the physiological effects of a cardiac rehabilitation programme on myocardial infarction patients in Kuwait. HEALTH AND WELLBEING MSc By Research FT PT The UK’s health and social care systems continue to provide high- quality care. However, it is crucial that we explore new technologies and ways of working to ensure the standards of care that we've come to expect are maintained. This course gives you the opportunity to pursue
your own personal or professional research interests in this wide-ranging field, which encompasses such diverse policy areas as health, education, housing, disability, crime, poverty, and the family. It offers an outstanding opportunity to make an original contribution to the development and application of outcome research into real-life issues in healthcare delivery and policy. MENTAL HEALTH MPhil/PhD FT PT Developing and evaluating effective evidence-based mental health services to support people at some of the most challenging times of their lives depends on high quality research. Studying for a MPhil/PhD in Mental Health will give you the opportunity to pursue your own personal or professional research interests in this vital field, while contributing to new ways of thinking about mental health care, services, and policy. Currently students are looking at evidence-based practices in mental health (in particular early intervention services), care co- ordination in forensic mental health care and the influence of service user participation in professional role development. NURSING MPhil/PhD FT PT With a clear focus on translating academic theory into positive practical outcomes for practitioners, patients, and carers, our cutting-edge nursing research addresses an extensive range of issues from professional working and patient care, to the development of new treatments and interventions. Our students are currently researching topics including the emotional experiences of children’s nurses while caring for life-limiting conditions, and nursing students’ care towards obese patients.
PUBLIC HEALTH MPhil/PhD FT PT By providing an evidence base through empirical investigation, audit, and evaluation, our research actively contributes to improvements at all levels in public health policy and practice. Recent research projects carried out by our students include the impact of a structured education package on nurses’ knowledge and practice in Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in Saudi Arabia, and health visitors, understanding of the principle ‘influencing policies affecting health’. contributing to new ways of thinking about mental health care, services, and policy. Currently students are looking at evidence-based practices in mental health (in particular early intervention services), care co- ordination in forensic mental health care and the influence of service user participation in professional role development.
