On this page you will find a selection of our work in almost every area of health and care including the challenges we are working to address, the nature of our research, and the difference we have made to peoples' lives. One of our public contributors suggested that our evidence should 'enable people to be born well, live well, and die well'. We agree. This is at the heart of what we seek to achieve.
Find out more about how we are making a difference and also read more stories about research across the NIHR.
