Centre for Clinical Health Services Research & Development

The Centre for Clinical Health Services Research and Development (CCHSRD) at NUI Galway was established in 2006 as a timely response to the research needs of a transforming Irish health service. Recent national reforms to health care provision emphasise an integrated, interdisciplinary approach. The Centre is well placed to support and reflect this new and collaborative way of working, by harnessing as it does a rich diversity of research perspectives, methodologies and expertise from a range of disciplines.

The mission of the Centre for Clinical Health Services Research and Development is to conduct, report and disseminate clinical health services research, characterised by interdisciplinary and inter-agency ways of working, with a view to producing high quality information about our health and health services.

 The Centre has four objectives:

• To perform high quality clinical health services research of regional, national and international significance.
• To harness a rich diversity of perspectives and expertise for collaborative research appropriate to an increasingly interdisciplinary health service.
• To generate research that is relevant to service providers and service users and to maximise opportunities for a participatory approach to clinical health services research.
• To influence and inform clinical practice and service reform by disseminating information among practitioners, policymakers, researchers and the general public.
