What is Fuse?
Fuse brings together the five North East Universities of Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside in an innovative collaboration to transform health and wellbeing and reduce health inequalities through the conduct of world-class public health research and its translation into value-for-money policy and practice.
The Centre provides a unique forum for researchers operating in a range of scientific disciplines to work with policy and practice partners from the NHS, local and national government, and voluntary and community sectors to help transform public health.
The blog
The most successful posts tend to reflect personal views/experiences and are written by one or two people rather than a group. These often spark interesting discussion, both on-line and in person.
We hope that the blog provides an insight into public health research for those not directly involved by revealing what is going on ‘behind the scenes’: depicting the joys and frustrations, acting to inspire or provide support to others.
The views expressed in posts are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of Fuse (the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health) or the author's employer or organisation.
