Helping people stay healthy and working

Live Well

LEAD: Kam Bhu

CO-LEAD: Peter Byrne

The NHS spends around 70% of its budget on care for long and multiple long-term conditions (physical and/or mental). These conditions increasingly impact more people during working age.

Our research focuses on preventing ill health through access to healthy and affordable food. We also want to support people impacted by one or more health conditions to stay working or to return to work, particularly those in the health and social care sector.
