Inclusive Health and Implementation (IHI) Research Group

Themes, members and publications

The Inclusive Health and Implementation Research Group provides a network for researchers who are working in the following themes:

  • Life transitions: including maternity care, childhood research and chronic diseases
  • Capacity development: We have a long history of supporting aspiring researchers to develop their research careers and access research training support and fellowships. We have strong links with the NIHR S London ARC capacity development and Implementation and Improvement Science theme, and one of our members is an NIHR training lead for S London ARC and our research group members also have other national NIHR roles.
  • Implementation and Improvement Science: This theme includes researchers who are tackling questions about moving evidence into practice, through quality improvement work or by undertaking research which explores implementation in health and social care contexts.
  • Rare and unusual conditions: Our theme includes research amongst people with rare and unusual conditions, and links with groups in UK and Europe who are seeking to ensure that research is undertaken with and for people who have rare conditions.

Our research group has an overarching theme of ‘health inequalities' as this is a clear local and national research priority.
