Research

By increasing our understanding of the causes, treatment and prevention of mental health disorders and health and social care, we are able to make a real improvement to peoples’ lives. 

Participation in research is a rewarding experience – please look at the Participate section to see the many ways you can be part of research.   

The Research Team is part of the Medical Directorate, delivering clinical research countywide and managing all research governance.  On average we have around 50 studies in various stages of set-up, recruitment and follow-up.  We also support a number of National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) initiatives.
