A groundbreaking study could help to revolutionise the way in which mental health service users and their carers plan their care.
The research is a collaboration between The University of Nottingham’s School of Nursing, Midwifery and Physiotherapy, the University of Manchester, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust.
Funded with almost £2m by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR), the research will examine ways to improve the involvement of service users and their carers living in England and Wales in decisions about their care.
The programme will run for the next five years and will benefit not just service users and their carers but also mental health professionals.
