MSRC
The MSRC was set up as a collaborative initiative between the Royal College of Nursing and De Montfort University. It provides a base for 'diversity-oriented' research undertaken within the Faculty of Health & Life Sciences, including the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Based at the Leicester Charles Frears campus in self-contained accommodation, it works closely with researchers across the University, and nationally, with an interest in issues of ‘race’ and ethnicity in health. Particular research concerns include care planning in a multi-ethnic NHS, employment opportunities and career development of black and minority ethnic staff, and specific ethnic health care needs. An active programme of development has seen its research base grow substantially in recent years. Collaborative working with health and welfare agencies and community groups is a priority, to ensure active dissemination and implementation of research findings in practice.
