Faculty

We are seeking a Centre Coordinator to support the successful delivery of strategic objectives and the operational day-to-day activities of the Centre. Our Centre is multidisciplinary, undertaking high quality co‑created applied research that (i) informs the design and implementation of new technologies in national and international health and care systems; and (ii) explores the impact of such technologies on patients, service users, carers, and health and social care professionals. Employing theory-driven approaches for design and evaluation, the Centre’s research offers an understanding of the contextual factors that impact the success of an innovation, informing both future technology design and its implementation. Research in the Centre is mixed method, combining qualitative data that delivers deep insight with the quantitative data that caters to the needs of policymakers.
