The Faculty of Health Sciences strongly encourages interdisciplinary approaches to research which is reflected in a number of thematic research institutes, centres, groups and units. These examples of thematically focussed research bring together investigators in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing and Rehabilitation Therapy, who are drawn from a range of disciplines, including: basic and clinical biomedical sciences, population studies and health services and policy research. In some cases, the disciplines involved extend beyond the Faculty of Health Sciences and include investigators from the Faculties of Arts and Science as well as Applied Science and Engineering. Details of these thematic research programs can be found at the following links:
