Overview

About the programme

Our research utilises creative, community-engaged, participatory and inclusive methodologies such as co-production, as well as theory-informed qualitative health related research. You will be contributing throughout your studies to a research portfolio that has major impact on understanding the experiences of health, wellbeing and care and the provision and the systems that support it.

Research into care, health and wellbeing examines interactions between lived experience, policy and practice. We understand that people, policies, protocols, norm and values, as well as different forms of knowledge and technical devices, are all necessary to the achievement of good health, wellbeing and care. We recognise care as central to people’s well-being and significant to both personal relationships and political decisions. We collaborate with users, providers and academics to ensure that our research informs current health and social care practice.

Your research as a Health and Wellbeing and Resilience PhD student at the University of Brighton will combine a range of theoretical and critical perspectives as well as bringing the skills and satisfactions that come with managing a major project and contributing to knowledge that will make a difference to individuals, families, communities and society.
