White-Paper - Maximising Healthcare Impact: The Role of Applied Research in Modern Healthcare Management

The EDS Insider

In today’s fast-evolving healthcare landscape, the demand for innovative, evidence-based solutions is greater than ever. From improving patient outcomes to driving organisational efficiency, healthcare management must adapt to new challenges rapidly.


The European Doctoral School (EDS) is excited to introduce a new white paper, Maximising the Impact of Applied Research in Healthcare Management, which explores how applied research is reshaping the healthcare sector and advancing effective leadership. This insightful resource highlights how EDS’s unique doctoral pathways, including the PhD by Thesis, Professional Doctorate, and PhD by Publication, empower healthcare leaders to tackle real-world issues through rigorous, impactful research.


Why Applied Research Matters in Healthcare

Applied research plays a vital role in turning theoretical knowledge into practical solutions. In healthcare, where patient care and operational efficiency are paramount, applied research directly supports the development of practices that improve outcomes and streamline processes.


Our White Paper examines the powerful influence of research-based healthcare management, showcasing how doctoral candidates at EDS are equipped to make measurable changes in the field. Through our doctoral programmes, doctoral candidates gain both the skills and insights to address current healthcare challenges, bridging the gap between academia and practical application.
