Our Health projects create community-based research that invites local communities to set real-world research questions and agendas around health and wellbeing. The programme is based on the ‘science shops’ model that is used widely across Europe to try to bridge research institutes and wider society.
Our Health projects are valuable because they aim to play a role in tackling the health inequalities that exist in society. Our Health targets the most severely disadvantaged communities at a local (Edinburgh) and global (India/Africa) level.
Our Health Local (Edinburgh) works in partnership with NHS Lothian and Edinburgh City Council to improve health literacy and empower local patient and community groups to take greater responsibility and control of their own health through community-university driven research.
Our Health Global enables students to work synergistically with key health partners and patients in India and Africa to research questions around health and wellbeing and share knowledge, vital to help the local communities to support universal health coverage goals.
