Organisation

University of Manchester

The Centre for Primary Care & Health Services Research at the University of Manchester does a wide range of research into major health problems, like cancer, as well as how health services are planned and working out how much it costs to deliver different types of care. The Centre has a dedicated PPI&E panel called PRIMER (https://sites.manchester.ac.uk/primer/) who ensure that all research done by the Centre has the views of patients and the public front and centre.
