Complex Interventions

Designing and evaluating complex interventions to address challenging health problems.

We have extensive and long-standing experience of developing complex interventions using multiple methods including experience-based co-design, intervention mapping and the behaviour change wheel.

We have successfully led the delivery of numerous trials, both regionally and nationally, evaluating interventions which aim to improve health and wellbeing outcomes in both ageing and post-stroke populations. We work in collaboration with the Leeds Institute of Clinical Trials Research in the design and delivery of the trials.

We have substantial in-house expertise in process evaluation and implementation science.
