The Cambridge Centre for Health Services Research (CCHSR) is a collaboration between the University of Cambridge and RAND Europe. We aim to inform health policy and practice by developing methods for measuring quality of care, and evaluating ways of improving the safety, effectiveness, efficiency and experience of care.
The Centre was founded in 2010. CCHSR is co-led by Professor Stephen Morris, who became the RAND Professor of Healthcare Research in 2019, and Jon Sussex, Chief Economist at RAND Europe.
A full list of staff is available here.
More information on projects, collaborators and publications can be found on the CCHSR website.
