Research Projects
Our research projects by theme
We evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new care approaches through comprehensive mixed methods. This allows us to gain valuable insights and identify areas for improvement in service delivery.
We focus on creating and evaluating groundbreaking patient safety interventions. This includes digitally-based solutions that enhance our scientific foundation and empower healthcare professionals with the tools they need to ensure patient safety.
​We conduct in-depth analyses of recent episodes of care to uncover best practices. By learning from past experiences, we aim to prevent future harm and promote safer organisational practices.
Our team is committed to developing and assessing innovative methods for predicting clinical deterioration and adverse outcomes. This proactive approach helps healthcare providers respond swiftly to potential issues before they escalate.
