We are interested in research for informing decision making in commissioning. We are particularly interested in the application of Patient Reported Outcomes Measures as the basis for commissioning Value Based Comissioning. We also conduct reviews on effectiveness on issues of particular relevance to the healthcare organisation and delivery in the UK.
