On Thursday, 27th September, Dave and Nima presented the GLiMHR (Guiding Lincolnshire’s Mental Health Research) project at the Research Development Forum, a collaborative initiative between Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) and UoL. As part of the GLiMHR project and preparations to establish a Mental Health Research Group in Lincolnshire, the meeting provided an opportunity for Dave and Nima to better understand the capacity and capability of RDF members to conduct mental health research. To extend this effort to our School, if you are interested in supporting and participating in future programmatic mental health research in Lincolnshire, please complete this brief survey: https://forms.office.com/e/LYK8XK8rJr
On Friday 27th September, Nima attended an East Midlands Cancer Alliance consultation event in Derby. The event aimed to develop an integrated primary prevention intervention that incorporates strategies to promote physical activity, nutrition, and psychological wellbeing.
Last week, Nima and NHS colleagues submitted a bid for an NIHR Application Development Award for Health and Care Professionals. The bid aims to enhance mental health provision for individuals with terminal or life-limiting illnesses by building clinical research capacity and capability across the East Midlands.
