An inclusive society is one where everyone has an equal chance of accessing healthcare and achieving wellbeing. It is also a society where everyone can participate. Nivel studies the accessibility and quality of healthcare, health disparities and participation, and supports policymakers by providing analysis, data and knowledge.
Our experts help to improve healthcare and social services through high-quality research, data analysis, knowledge development and advice.
What does Nivel do?Major health disparities exist in the Netherlands. Some groups of people also have more difficulty participating in society. Nivel studies these inequalities, focusing above all on problems that people in vulnerable groups encounter when trying to navigate the healthcare system and society. To enjoy equal opportunities (equality), some people need extra guidance or support (equity). Nivel uses participatory research, co-creation and innovative tools to help patients, clients, the public and policymakers promote inclusion in the healthcare sector.
What questions about an inclusive society can Nivel help you with?Nivel monitors vulnerable groups, such as chronically ill and disabled people, and analyses their experiences of healthcare and participation. We use panels and digital tools to highlight problem areas and potential improvements. The Centre of Excellence on ‘Social vulnerability and inclusion in research’ supports researchers and policymakers by providing knowledge and training on inclusive research.
