The Department has an active programme of Research & Development associated with improving patient care. The majority of the research is undertaken by Clinical Scientists (Medical Physicists and Clinical Engineers), Audiological Scientists, medical and nursing staff. 

Some of the research is funded by Government bodies, Research Councils and commercial companies. 

Currently within the Medical Physics & Bioengineering Department there is major research relating to pressure sore prevention and tissue viability, cerebral blood flow autoregulation, non-invasive intra cranial pressure measurement, drug deposition within the respiratory system, imaging and projects within the sphere of clinical bioengineering. 

Several members of staff are undertaking research training and are registered for part time post graduate degrees.
