About us

Starting well, living well and ageing well is the principle underpinning our work. Our research and teaching disciplines centre on health challenges that are particularly significant in Merseyside. Our work in cardiovascular health, eye and vision, musculoskeletal ageing and women's and children's health has global impact.
