UCL Centre of Applied Health Research

UCL’s Centre of Applied Health Research is led by Rosalind Raine (Professor of Health Care Evaluation and UCL Partners Programme Director in Population Health) with Steve Morris (Professor of Health Economics) as Deputy Director. The Centre focuses on interventions and policies with the potential to realise significant impacts on population health and health/health care inequalities.

The Centre is divided into the following multidisciplinary research groups:

• The Inequalities Research Group, led by Dr Madhavi Bajekal. This group addresses the paradox of overall improvements in life expectancy in the face of persistent health inequalities.
• The Evaluation Group, led by Dr Nora Pashayan. This group examines how individual, organisational and contextual factors affect health care/public health use, access and outcomes.
• The Health Economics Group, led by Professor Steve Morris. This group evaluates the cost and cost effectiveness of health care interventions and public health programmes, and investigates resource allocation in health care and public health.
• The Surgical Outcomes Resource Centre (SOuRCe), led by Dr Ramani Moonsinghe. This group focuses on risk adjustment and outcomes analysis for the surgical specialities.
• The Healthcare Organisation and Management Group. This group evaluates re-organisations and service improvements across the NHS.

The Centre has conducted research in a diverse range of

• conditions (including cardiology, neurology, cancer, reproductive and sexual health, mental health, rheumatology),
• settings (community, primary, secondary, intensive and palliative care) and
• countries (e.g. England, Brazil, South Africa).

Those involved with the Centre comprise of both clinical and non-clinical researchers from a range of disciplines including health services research, health economics, epidemiology, public health, statistics, health psychology and social policy.

We work in close collaboration with other members of the Division of Population Health, other Research Departments across UCL the NIHR UCLH/UCL Biomedical Research Centre, UCL Partners and other universities nationally and internationally.
