Nima and Dave were recently invited to present the GLiMHR (Guiding Lincolnshire’s Mental Health Research) project at the MHDLDA Alliance Executive Group. This group is a partnership comprised of senior representatives from the health and care systems in Lincolnshire, dedicated to providing a strategic overview of Mental Health, Dementia, Learning Disability, and Autism care in the region.
The presentation focused on developing a vision for mental health research in Lincolnshire and establishing the region as a centre for excellence in this field. 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 provide an overview of the GLiMHR project but also discuss the current regional capacity and capability for mental health research.
This engagement marks a significant step towards enhancing mental health research in Lincolnshire, fostering collaboration, and beginning to build a robust research strategy with key regional partners.
