• Developing a multidisciplinary rehabilitation package following hip fracture
• The effects of a comprehensive physiotherapy intervention for adults with joint hypermobility
Health Technology Assessment Programme
Evaluation Trials and StudiesCoordinating Centre
Funds a broad range of research to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services, including costs and outcomes, to improve health services
Health Services & Delivery Research Programme
Evaluation Trials and StudiesCoordinating Centre
Better guidelines for better care: accounting for multi-morbidity in clinical guidelines
Health Services & Delivery Research Programme

Public Health Research Programme
Evaluation Trials and StudiesCoordinating Centre
• Within remit • Important to the NHS• Research focused on patients, clinical outcomes
& QoL• Supported by current evidence• Timely• Structured to provide clear, well defined question
(PICO)
What makes a good research question?
Evaluation Trials and StudiesCoordinating Centre
• P - population (who?)• I - intervention (what do we want to test?)• C - comparator (what is usually done?)• O - outcome (what measure will tell us if it is
better?)
Structuring a research question
