CEIS Research Themes
Our work spans four core research groups alongside our leading Implementation Science Programme.
Explore our research groups below to learn more about our work and impact, if you want to learn even more about we do, follow us on LinkedIn.
Applied Evaluation
Our Applied Evaluation research group hosts one of eleven Technology Assessment Review teams across the UK who undertake Technology Assessment Reviews (TARs) for the NIHR Evidence Synthesis Programme on behalf of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The team provides NICE with essential information to support their decisions on whether to recommend technologies (drugs, other treatments, devices and diagnostics) for use within the NHS.
Evidence Synthesis
Learn more about WM-ESG work.Our Evidence Synthesis research group brings together the best available research evidence to help policymakers, practitioners and researchers make informed decisions. As part of this group, we lead the West Midlands Evidence Synthesis Group (WM-ESG), partnering with colleagues from across other University of Birmingham colleges as well as the University of Warwick and Keele University.
Policy and Methods Group
This group encompasses a wide range of policy-oriented research and methodological development, covering broad topic areas including inflammatory diseases, cancer, public health, and rare diseases. We provide methodological expertise extending across the translational pathway, from clinical trial design in the early phases to applied health research and implementation science, outcome methodology (including patient-reported outcomes, core outcome sets and outcome standardisation), and health and research equity.
Evidence Based Surgery Group
As leaders in implementation science in surgery, the ambition of the Evidence Based Surgery Group is to ensure research is directly translated into policy and practice change for the benefit of patients. As methodologists we are at the forefront of methodological innovation in surgery and develop and utilise a range research methods to improve the design, delivery and adoption of high-quality evidence into surgical practice.
The Implementation Science Programme
Learn more now.Led by Dr. Arabella Scantlebury and hosted within the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science (CEIS), the Implementation Science Programme bridges the gap between research discovery and real-world adoption. We partner across the public sector, healthcare, and industry to ensure proven innovations, services, and products reach their full potential. Through our hands-on Winter School, Residential Fellowships, and Annual Conference, we deliver targeted training and collaborative opportunities designed to build capacity and empower academics, practitioners, and leaders to drive sustainable, evidence-based change.
CEIS Solutions
Work with us.Who we are CEIS Solutions is the commercial arm of the Centre for Evidence and Implementation Science, a leading research institute recognised for delivering high-quality evaluation, implementation science and real-world impact.
We partner with organisations across policy, the public sector, healthcare and industry to help design, evaluate, implement and scale programmes, innovations, services and interventions that deliver measurable and lasting change.
