REACH is a regional collaborative hub in emergency care research led by co-directors from the University of the West of England and the University of Bristol.

It aligns researchers from these two universities with direct support from health and care providers and commissioners, so they can share priorities, expertise and resources to coordinate and strengthen research capacity, delivery and infrastructure.

It also acts as a repository of academic expertise to enhance service and workforce design and delivery in the region, supporting a process of service co-design, research and evaluation that informs current healthcare priorities.

Mission Statement

To work collaboratively across the city of Bristol and throughout the surrounding region to complete, disseminate and implement high quality research with impact in urgent and emergency care, and to build future research capacity.
