The Institute of Public Care is a trusted partner in public care, with a proven track record of delivering innovative consultancy, training, evaluation, and applied research to central and local government, the health sector, charities, and commercial organisations. Established in 1987, our aim is to improve the health and wellbeing of citizens and communities, leading the way in developing, delivering, and sharing excellence in public care.

Achieving better public care outcomes through collaborative solutions

At IPC, we believe that achieving better public care outcomes requires collaborative solutions. As a dedicated institution at Oxford Brookes University, we work with NHS trusts, government agencies, councils, charities, and commercial organisations to achieve improved outcomes for the communities they serve.

Our unique combination of academic rigour and practical experience allows us to provide bespoke applied research and evaluation, consultancy, and training and development services that help our clients improve service delivery, develop policies and strategies, and enhance workforce skills. Contact us today to learn more about how we can work together to drive positive change in public care.
