Our Research

The aim of the Yorkshire Quality and Safety Research Group’s seminar series is to bring together academics, clinicians and NHS managers in an intellectual and social environment to exchange knowledge, experience, and ideas. The format of each seminar is intended to encourage a range of perspectives and engagement. We invite national and international speakers to present on patient safety topics of interest to researchers, Health and social care managers, clinicians, policy makers and patient representatives. Please join us.

Our seminars take place in-person at The Wolfson Centre for Applied Research and also online. Please see below our current seminar programme with booking link.

Job Vacancy

Research Fellow (4 Months Fixed Term Contract) – Band 6

Closing date : 15th October 2025

With support from Theme Leads, the Senior Research Fellow, and a vibrant, established quality and safety research community that includes NHS staff and patients, you will contribute to the design and delivery of research that addresses local and national priorities for patient safety. You will be based in the ‘Safer Systems, Cultures and Practices’ theme, which explores the fundamental and practical issues of how safety is organised and enacted through the ‘work’ of safety and improvement. The research conducted within this theme aims to understand how organisational processes and governance systems shape, enable or constrain safety in different settings. The intension is to explore, develop and evaluate practical approaches for strengthening safety through the improvement of systems and practices, to both optimise and better understand the recursive relationships that exist between culture, systems and practices in different healthcare settings.
