Mission statement
Our mission is to promote well-being and dignity by reducing the population burden of disease and improving health care through high quality research, teaching, clinical service and innovation and engagement.
Our core aims are to:• Provide excellent education and training for health care
professionals.• Use our multidisciplinary, integrated research environment to:
– Promote healthier communities– Develop relationship-based, holistic, cost effective individual care– Contribute to the understanding and reduction of health inequalities, particularly
in Wales
Overview
• Overview of components of PCAPH
• Update on PCAPH restructuring
• The forthcoming year for…– Research– Education– Innovation & Engagement/wider links

Research Focus 2010-11
• Continuing to focus research themes to create larger cohesive groupings
• Development of processes to maximise REF submission
• Enabling a cohesive, supportive environment for junior & senior researchers alike
REF Pilot- Output Assessment ExerciseBackground• All academic staff who would be potentially returnable in the Research Excellence
Framework (REF)• Maximum of 2 outputs (REF Pilot)
Assessment• Assessment carried out by former RAE 2008 panel members
– UOA1- Prof. D Eisner (Manchester)– UOA2- Prof. P Price (Imperial), Prof. L Young (Birmingham)– UOA3- Prof. J Cohen (Brighton & Sussex), Prof. M Collins (UCL), Prof. F Y Liew (Glasgow)– UOA4- Prof. J Iredale (Edinburgh), Prof. C Cooper (Southampton)– UOA8- Prof T Peters (Bristol), Prof D Mant (Cambridge)– UOA9- Prof P McGuffin (KCL)
• Assessed based on the RAE 2008 criteria (Unclassified - 4*)• Individual feedback provided for each output
REF Output Assessment Results - UOA8 Primary CareREF Pilot: 32 staff (28 staff x 2 ouput, 4 x 1 output)

Next steps...
Focus on trying to ensure that potential 2* and 3* papers are supported to ‘tip’ to the higher grade:– Focus on meaning for practice: “Transformational benefit”– Internal peer review before journal submission
Review qualitative comments:– Some policy work may not be considered research– Where the work was not done in Cardiff need to be clear on
author’s role being major– Strengthening abstracts: better descriptions of methods and
implications for practice
