Healthy Ageing NIHR Policy Research Unit

The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Policy Research Unit in Healthy Ageing (HAPRU) aims to produce timely, high quality evidence for policymakers.

We are a collaboration between the Newcastle University, University of Manchester and the London School of Economics. Our aims are to answer policymakers’ questions and help the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to make informed decisions about the lives of older people. We carry out research into promoting healthy ageing, the future needs of older people and the provision of high-quality, cost effective care.
