We approach this from a holistic and diverse range of perspectives that include: disease treatment and prevention, human behaviour, the achievement, maintenance and promotion of good mental health and physical fitness and associated emotional, social and physical well-being.

Here at Teesside University, we have a proud track record of delivering real and tangible improvements in the health and wellbeing of people and communities. For example, across our Schools on-going research performed in collaboration with a range of external partners is informing World Health Organisation guidelines for community tooth decay prevention programmes, helping chronic pain sufferers to understand and manage the overall impact of persistent pain, enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life following high risk surgery via the development of novel pre-surgical exercise programmes, and using a range of effective preventative health strategies such as targeted education programmes on alcohol-related behaviour and diet. We have also developed a range of healthcare technologies, such as low cost diagnostic and therapeutic devices.
