Mental health and the science of behaviour

Research within the NHS can seem like an “add-on” and may not seem like a priority to a lot of staff and patients, especially within the realm of mental health. However, this talk will explore the current research projects that one of England’s largest and most prominent NHS mental health research delivery teams are conducting and how it can positively impact a patient’s recovery journey. Come and explore the opportunities that we provide to patients. See how a research project can change the way we deliver care within the NHS.
