Our Methods and Work
We aim to improve our own working models, and to share our learning with others, through an ongoing process of reflection and adaptation.
UNCOVER is a learning community as well as a centre for evidence synthesis. We consider it important to reflect on what we do, to learn and make improvements, and to share our learning with others - especially in the spirit of open sharing of knowledge and information which has characterised much of the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to evaluating our working model and outputs, we are undertaking qualitative research into the staff and student experience of participating in UNCOVER. This area of work is ongoing.
