Health Research Institute (HRI)

The Edge Hill Primary and Integrated Care Research Centre (EPIC) is committed to generating research that strengthens primary care, integrates services, and improves the health and wellbeing of communities. Our work delivers high-quality, applied health and care research that benefits patients and the public, reduces inequalities, and informs decision-making across health systems.

Our research has reach and influence both nationally and internationally. As well as contributing to numerous clinical guidelines around the world, evidence from EPIC has shaped strategies and frameworks led by the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, and the OECD, ensuring that our work not only informs practice in the UK but also supports health system reform globally.
