Healthcare Educational Research and Evaluation (HERE)

Founded in January 2018 by Professor Ann Ooms, HERE is an international and multi-disciplinary research network. It comprises academics and healthcare and social care professionals who aim to enhance the learning and professional development of the current and future health and social care workforce through research and evaluation.

HERE's members share an interest and expertise in research and evaluation related to health and social care education and professional development. Our projects aim to ensure health and social care students and professionals receive the most engaging, efficient and effective leaning opportunities while enhancing their knowledge, skills and practices.

Members of this research network are well-connected with health- and social care providers and work in close partnership with commissioners.

We are academics, nurses, midwives, psychologists, physiotherapists, radiographers, rehabilitation scientists, occupational therapists, paramedics, pharmacists, surgeons, doctors, social workers, social anthropologists, scientific writers, etc, and share a passion for education.

We meet every six weeks online, hold two hybrid conferences per year and publish monthly newsletters.
