Special areas of research activity

  1. Personalising care
    Professor Martyn Jones (m.c.jones@dundee.ac.uk)
    Our research programme is focused primarily on personalising care to enable health and well-being. It is designed to generate robust research evidence and to facilitate health professionals to apply evidence based care that is compassionate, tailored and responsive to individual need, and that is person-centred, safe and effective.
    Subtheme 1: E-health - Lead, Dr Roma Maguire (r.z.maguire@dundee.ac.uk )
    The focus of this cross-cutting theme is on the use of technology to empower individuals experiencing ill health, such as life limiting illnesses, and their carers, by facilitating e-health to enable the provision of information and real time communication between people and health care providers.
    Subtheme 2: Inequalities - Lead, Dr Thilo Kroll (t.kroll@dundee.ac.uk )
    This cross-cutting theme will focus on issues of particular concern relating to people who are generally more vulnerable to the risk of ill-health and/or compromised opportunities for well-being and social participation.
