Congratulations to CHE researchers Shainur Premji, PhD Premji and Simon Walker, who have been recognised alongside Cardiff University / Prifysgol Caerdydd Violence Research Group in the NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) Impact Prizes 2026! 👏

Their collaborative research evaluates Violence Prevention Teams (VPTs) in hospital emergency departments, contributing to the evidence on how healthcare settings can help prevent violence.

The team is one of seven recognised this year for research delivering transformative contributions to the UK's health and wealth. 🏩

CHE’s Itamar Megiddo recently participated in the Society for Benefit-Cost Analysis Conference, held at Leeds Leeds University Business School 💬

Itamar joined a roundtable discussion on “Valuing Quality-Adjusted Life Years in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis and Benefit-Cost Analysis”, alongside researchers from institutions across the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States.

The session brought together researchers with related expertise, including those who use cost-effectiveness analysis to address health care interventions and those who use benefit-cost analysis to address interventions outside the health care system.

The conference provided a forum for researchers and policymakers to exchange ideas and advance the theory and application of benefit-cost analysis.

From developing research to collaborating with colleagues, sharing knowledge and contributing to our vibrant culture in CHE, our ECRs play a vital role in everything we do.

Postdoc Appreciation Week is an opportunity to recognise their hard work, talent, and to say a huge thank you for all that they bring to CHE.

Violence is a serious public health problem, causing substantial harm to individuals, families and communities and costing the NHS an estimated £4.75 billion each year.

Our latest research evaluated Violence Prevention Teams (VPTs) in Emergency Departments across Wales, which support patients affected by violence at a critical ‘reachable moment’ following injury.

Using linked health and administrative data from 2019–2024, we found that VPTs improved health outcomes while reducing healthcare costs, mainly by preventing future unplanned Emergency Department attendances and hospital admissions.

If expanded across the UK, VPTs could prevent more than 7,500 unplanned emergency visits and save the NHS £102 million.
