We believe that well-informed decisions about health and social care should be based on reliable evidence. Evidence synthesis methodology brings together evidence from existing research on competing treatments and procedures to optimise benefits for patients and make good use of NHS resources.
We are experienced in conducting quantitative and qualitative evidence syntheses across a spectrum of health, diagnostic, public health, and social care topics using appropriate methods including statistical analyses and decision analytic modelling as well as methods used to explore the experiences of patients, families, and service users.
We are sensitive to an evidence synthesis landscape that is continually changing and evolving to address the needs of a range of different stakeholders and our work aims to:
Support decision-making that impacts patient care, makes services more efficient, and reduces inequalities
Enhance research by identifying research gaps and areas for further methodological development
Patient and public involvement is an integral part of our work. We strongly believe in the importance of engaging people with lived experience of health and social care conditions as well as the public in our research activities to ensure their voices are heard.
