Urgent and Emergency Health Care and Workforce Research Group

About the Group

We work closely with research and clinical partners in the NHS (particularly St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust) and collaborators in partner universities.

Our research spans clinical, organisational and systems-level research using a range of methodologies in multiple health service contexts with a multidisciplinary approach.

Our portfolio includes collaboration on mixed methods studies on topics such as data sharing across organisational boundaries within emergency care and the impact of new professional roles in urgent and emergency department care, and qualitative research into definitions of professionalism in the ambulance service. Our members additionally carry out research on clinical topics of importance in the urgent and emergency care field.

We are keen to help develop the next generation of research leaders and particularly welcome applicants for pre-doctoral fellowships and PhD.
