Injury and Rehabilitation Research Cluster (IRRC)

The mission of IRRC is to work with external partners to produce high quality research that meets their needs and seeks to provide a duty of care to those who are injured and members of their support network.

The cluster aims to:

  • To provide an evidence-based that will influence and underpin policy-making and service-delivery to support injured populations and those within their support network
  • To synthesize and disseminate evidence-based knowledge on injury and rehabilitation to decision-makers, service-providers, professionals, media, and members of the public   
  • To co-construct injury- and rehabilitation-related research questions with external partners that meets their needs
  • To conduct original and rigorous injury and rehabilitation research
  • To publish high quality injury research so that others can benefit from our findings
  • To disseminate our research in an appropriate format for its intended user 
  • To provide critical insights on how our research findings can inform policies and practices
  • To build and sustain relationships with external stakeholders 

The cluster holds regular research seminars at St Mary’s University. Its members are also regularly invited to present their research and facilitate workshops for staff and/or patients at hospitals, charities, and other Higher Education Institutions (such as Headley Court [Defence Medical Rehabilitation Unit], Royal College of Surgeons, Queen Mary’s Hospital, St Mary’s Hospital, Wellington Hospital). Please contact  ross.wadey@stmarys.ac.uk if you would like to attend our research seminars.
