Our research projects

We aim to constantly improve and innovate, to ensure that we optimise our efforts and use resources most cost-effectively. That’s why our scientists generate evidence to inform decisions and guide our work. By doing this, we’re able to continually better and share our knowledge, ensuring that everyone can benefit from improved health.

In 2022, Unlimit Health was awarded the status of Independent Research Organisation (IRO) by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the body responsible for convening the UK’s research councils and for supporting research, knowledge exchange and innovation.

This is an important step in Unlimit Health’s commitment to operate as an evidence-based organisation and enhance our dedication to academic research and programmes that reflect the needs and priorities of our partners.
