Who we are We are a collaboration between University of Edinburgh, Glasgow Caledonian University, University of Stirling, University of Newcastle upon Tyne and patient representatives. We combine methodological, topic and patient and public involvement expertise. Completed projects Find out more about our completed projects. What we do We produce high-quality evidence syntheses across a wide range of topics relevant to health care, public health and social care. These have a direct impact on decision-making, patient and client care, reducing inequalities and identifying future research needs. Our projects provide best evidence to support decision-making across health, public health and social care in all four nations of the UK. Current projects Find out more about our ongoing projects. NIHR evidence synthesis programme funding We are one of thirteen evidence synthesis groups funded by the NIHR evidence synthesis programme. The aim of the evidence synthesis groups is to address knowledge gaps or to answer a specific need for healthcare, public health and social care stakeholders/audiences. Get involved We strongly believe in involving people with lived experience of a health or social care condition in all our research. This also includes caregivers, families and patient and charitable support organisations. This is known as patient and public involvement.Masters or PhD students are always welcome to volunteer with NESSIE to help with our projects. Please get in touch with us if you are interested in being involved. We post regular blogs to introduce our team, update you on our projects, and describe the processes we use.
