Health and Wellbeing Research and Knowledge Exchange Institute
This interdisciplinary Institute brings together researchers from Health, Medicine and Society, including Social Work and Interprofessional Education, Psychology and Sport and Exercise Sciences. Spanning such a breadth of disciplines allows the Institute to forge new research synergies and to direct this expertise towards public projects in Chester, Cheshire, the North West and beyond. The Institute has a strong global presence and regularly works with partners internationally.
Our Research
The Institute is proud to support a series of important research projects that cut across interdisciplinary boundaries. These projects help to create new knowledge and thinking in the broad fields of Health, Medicine and Society. Crucially, much of our research also works in partnership with the wider public and community as we develop, share and collaborate on new projects. Learn more about some of our ongoing research here, and also about the support we offer to our researchers as they develop their ideas.
