How is research helping to improve health policy and practice for justice-involved people? 
We will share the key results of our Health Justice research projects and show the longer term difference that this work has made at local, regional and national levels, directly benefitting justice-involved people. 

These projects are unique in terms of bringing health and criminal justice research together across the Criminal Justice pathway, supporting evidence-based practice at this level, engaging those who are seldom heard, and providing innovations in practice.

Many services who work with people in contact with the Criminal Justice System (including prisons, the National Probation Service, Community Rehabilitation Companies, the courts, the police, Drugs and Alcohol services, homelessness services and third sector organisations) have supported us in developing and delivering these projects. 

This interactive event will celebrate the successes and explore the opportunities for further innovation, facilitating joint learning and collaboration opportunities.

Each section will include a Q&A between audience and researcher for a fully enriched programme.

Community and Primary Care research group

Our research is conducted through the involvement of practitioners, and the public, who are instrumental in helping to develop focused research questions and in designing projects.

We use a range of research methods, qualitative and quantitative, to solve pressing and often complex research problems. Our research is often directed towards those individuals who are the most excluded or disempowered, have mental health problems and have difficulty accessing services.

Community and Primary Care research is led and coordinated by Professor Richard Byng.
