Kent’s Centre for Health Service Studies (CHSS) has been awarded £30,000 to research NHS service development.

The investment has been made by NHS Thanet and NHS South Kent Coast to look into how they can best take forward integrated care agendas for their service users. The study will be conducted over the course of a year and is likely to include rapid reviews of the evidence-base and evaluation of pilot schemes.

CHSS undertakes high quality research into a wide range of health systems and health services issues at local, national and international levels with the aim of improving the links between research, policy and practice. The project is being led by Reader in Applied Health Research, Jenny Billings.
