Partnerships and Projects
The brings together researchers from a diverse range of academic disciplines, representatives of community groups, medical and healthcare professionals, and local and national policymakers. It aims to encourage the exchange of knowledge and perspectives, to promote the dissemination of research findings, and to support the development of collaborative, interdisciplinary research agendas on health inequalities and race in the UK and beyond. It is a collaboration between the 糖心原创, Nottingham Trent University and the University of Derby.
comprises researchers from Lincoln, Nottingham, and Loughborough with extensive public health research experience, and public collaborators with lived experience. The team conducts evaluations of complex public health interventions and establishes responsive evaluation schemes in local government settings.
City as Lab connects research with the people, places and policymakers of the Nottingham city region. It facilitates collaboration and partnerships through the offer of friendly convening space in the heart of Nottingham together with unique tools for harnessing and visualising place-based data. We regularly host researchers, government departments, public sector bodies, businesses and community organisations. This ranges from Nottingham City Council, East Midlands Combined County Authority and the Police and Crime Commission to public health organisations and charities such as Refugee Roots, City Arts and the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. City as Lab has hosted and supported health inequalities and communications projects such as mapping urban heat vulnerability, mapping food and nutrition security, and the experiences of minoritised groups on using digital technology in maternity care.
is a six year project funded by the Wellcome Trust, along with colleagues from the University of Birmingham and the University of Bristol. The concept of epistemic injustice in healthcare identifies epistemically unjust ways of conceiving of illness, treating ill persons, and allocating healthcare. The project tests the validity of the concept via six case studies; develop strategies of amelioration; and introduce academic and clinical researchers and patient groups to EI to develop its theoretical and practical possibilities. EPIC will offer a new healthcare paradigm that will benefit patients, increase health equality and improve healthcare.
