Health and the NHS
In developing courses and research programmes we collaborate closely with colleagues at both NHS Improvement – dedicated to “better healthcare, transformed care delivery and sustainable finances” – and NHS England.
What We Do
The Centre for Health Communications Research (CHCR) was established in 2013. It focuses on the communication dilemmas, challenges and issues faced by health sector organisations. Our vision is to encourage the use of effective and professional communications to improve patient outcomes and to strengthen the patient experience. We work at the boundary between academe and the public sector delivering rigorous, evidence-based solutions in a timely fashion.
CHCR is part of the School of Health Care and Social Work at Buckinghamshire New University. We have strong relationships with both public and private sector health and social care organisations. Our goal is to be recognised as a best-in-class source of academic and applied research, teaching and consulting practice.
