The Community and Primary Care research group is based on the university's north campus; a more detailed map is available on our campuses page.
About us
Our group operates within the Plymouth Institute of Health and Care Research (PIHR) (Faculty of Health) and is headed up by Professor Richard Byng , who is also a GP within the Plymouth area.
The Community and Primary Care Research Group (CPCRG) is intensively research active and has a strong proven track record of Health Services Research.
Our research is conducted through the involvement of practitioners and the public, who are instrumental in helping to develop focused research questions and in designing projects.
We use a range of research methods (both qualitative and quantitative), to solve pressing and often complex research problems.
Our research is often directed towards those individuals who are the most excluded or disempowered, have mental health problems and have difficulty accessing services.
