A Little About Us.Established in 2015, the Health in Communities Research (HiC) Team has been focused on exploring societal aspects related to positive health and well-being.
The HiC Team are particularly interested in working with local community groups and organisations to establish evidence concerning the impact of various lived experiences on health and wellbeing.
