Programme Structure

Research topics 

• How to influence behaviour eg encourage clinicians to use a new technology in their practice (or indeed how to get them to stop using a technology);

• The extent to which a new drug, medical device or other innovation generates value for different stakeholders;

• The challenges of introducing and sustaining an innovation at an organisational level;

• How policy is made and what prevents it from being ‘evidence-based’;

• How the regulatory environment can both enable and constrain innovation in healthcare settings;

• How technologies can (and why they do not always) support care practices;

• How patients and citizens might play an active role in research and dissemination;

• How we decide what is right and reasonable in research;
