Our programmes have been influential in developing and focusing national, European and international policy.
Our programme area, Quality and Outcomes in Primary Healthcare programme (QOPH), has affected national and local policies. In particular, our findings have influenced UK vaccination policy and policy in the UK and internationally informed pay-for-performance and quality systems.
The outcomes of our research carried out in our Pre-Hospital and Emergency Care Quality and Outcomes (PEQO) programme led to the adoption of clinical indicators, which we developed in partnership with ambulance services, into the national regulatory framework for the NHS Care Quality Commission 2010.
