Our partners

Our team is working with friends from Spark Somerset, the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol, and University College London (UCL).

UWE , Bristol is helping Somerset Council’s HDRC (Health Data Research Centre) to get better at research. They give training, chances to learn more, and help people get advanced degrees like PhDs. They also have fun things like journal clubs and research days to make HDRC’s research even better. UWE website

Spark Somerset helps groups like charities and community organizations in Somerset. They are working with HDRC to make sure the people of Somerset can share their ideas and help shape projects. Spark Somerset website

UCL gives advice on how to make health better for everyone in Somerset. They work with many local groups to make sure everyone has a fair chance to be healthy. They believe working together and learning from each other can make a big difference. University College London website

We also work with all the different parts of Somerset Council to share ideas and learn together. Outside the council, we team up with communities, charities, other HDRCs, and universities to share what we learn and come up with new ideas.
