³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ

We are a research and teaching group that form part of the North Wales School of Medicine at ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ. We aim to conduct high-quality primary care research that impacts upon clinical practice and health policy.  We are a core part of the Bangor Institute of Health and Medical Research (BIHMR).

Strategic areas

Our main strategic areas are:

• Cancer in Primary Care (‘T³ó¾±²Ô°ì°ä²¹²Ô³¦±ð°ù!’&²Ô²ú²õ±è;Trial)
• Palliative care at home and in the community (CARiAD study)
• Digital innovations (REMEDY) and consultation research
• Secondary research – ()

Our main base is on the ‘north-east’ campus in Wrexham, although some of our staff are based in Bangor.

We work closely with:

• Clinicians, locally within Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, and elsewhere
• Public Health Wales
• Wales Government
• Leading researchers in other Centres and Institutes within ³ÉÈËVRÊÓƵ
• Leading researchers in universities in the UK and internationally

Methodological expertise

We have methodological expertise in a number of areas. We conduct evidence syntheses (including realist syntheses), randomised trials, epidemiological studies and qualitative studies. We host doctors in training (academic GP registrars, and academic Foundation Year 1 doctors).

We have an increased trajectory of external peer reviewed grant income, won competitively through national competition. Our work is published in high-quality peer-reviewed journals with significant clinical readership. We have a programme of regular training, seminars and workshops, and an active PhD programme.
