ICRS
The International centre for Consortium Research in
Social Care Disciplines
The International centre for Consortium Research in Social Care Disciplines brings together researchers across the world to design social care practice models, to integrate health care systems, to promote health and wellbeing and to develop health policies through evidence based interventions. It helps in bridging the gap between Knowledge and Practice and to strengthen the field of Social Care Research.
The creation of this consortium brings together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines across the world to conduct multicentre research in the field of health and mental health to enhance health standards of the community. The centre collaborates with the experts in diverse disciplines such as medicine, public health, social work, psychology, nursing and health policy. The inter-disciplinary nature of the consortium strengthens its ability to generate evidence based interventions and policies for the promotion of health and wellbeing.
