Our three clusters

The Institute is comprised of three clusters, who work together in collaboration to offer a new vision for our health and care futures, with better quality and value for money.

With people’s needs at the centre of their work, these three clusters are underpinned by the methodological stream and are focused on delivering evidence-based approaches:

1. Careforce

Expanding the definition of careforce, to include people that are ill (self-management), and those important to them (informal carers) as part of the delivery system and improving access to education and skills building.
Bridging volunteer and professional boundaries to build skills-based approaches that respond to patient and system needs, working with education providers to build an agile and adaptable future care and careforce

2. Frugal innovation

Doing the basics well, efficiently and at low cost through frugal innovations (e.g. technology and repurposed medicines).
Using data, technology and new models of care to improve home-based support and reduce time in hospital.

3. Communities

Broadening definitions of value in health and care, including quality of life, symptoms and daily living.
Develop and test measures across a range of demographics to help reduce health and care inequalities.
Advancing theories and methods underpinning the co-production of health and care through citizen engagement and community empowerment.
