Besides working on a series of randomised trials and systematic reviews across a wide range of areas of health and social care, we are conducting research into the methods for trials, reviews and other research in health and social care. Our emphasis is on identifying appropriate and effective methods for these evaluations. We have developed the SWAT / SWAR (Study Within A Trial / Review) initiatives to facilitate this [1]. We are also actively involved in the COMET Initiative to facilitate the development of core outcome sets for health research [2,3].
