The BIRU is commissioned by Bradford District CCG to support a programme of interventions that aim to Reduce Inequalities in Communities (RIC).

The BIRU will also provide evaluations of some key interventions:

  • Continuity of Midwifery Care
  • CLICS
  • Proactive Care Team
  • Admiral Nurses (dementia)
  • Welfare Benefits Advice

The BIRU also leads a community readiness research project that aims to understand how ‘ready’ the community are to address some key issues including:

  • End of Life Care
  • Cancer Screening
  • Management of long-term conditions
