QORU’s vision is to improve the quality of health and social care of people with long-term conditions (LTCs), developing and using high quality evidence about need, quality and outcomes of person-centred care.

The research considers how individuals are affected by organisations, services and other forms of support, and how those organisations and systems can and should account for needs and outcomes of individual people.
