Get involved with research
How can I get involved?
There are a number of ways you could be involved with our research.
Involvement and Patient and Public Involvement
We run a number of patient and public involvement groups who advice on research and research subjects taking place at the Trust and the Institute of Mental Health. These groups run alongside research and offer advice, challenge, ideas and help to the research using the group members own lived experiences of the subject.
Research Engagement
The Institute of Mental Health has two newsletters which are sent our periodically to engage with people interested in our work. The Involvement at the Institute newsletter also includes any current opportunities to get involved in research, offer thoughts and advice and join any groups that are open to new members.
Research Participation
Participating in research doesn't always involve trying new medication. Some projects may simply involve completing a questionnaire or a short interview. Participating doesn’t always mean your own experiences, diagnoses or knowledge are the purpose of your participation, some research invites people with no experiences or extra knowledge to participate (this is sometimes called “healthy volunteers) or you might participate because you’re a carer or family member and your experiences are important to the research.
How we work with you
Research and Evidence at Notts Healthcare
Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is home to some of the country’s leading clinical research institutions, and is dedicated to improving the understanding and treatment of mental and physical health.
The Research and Evidence Department is responsible for research and evaluation studies at Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
Our ambition is to support and motivate staff to remain curious about the care they give and to do something about it where there is scope for improvement or exploration.
The Institute of Mental Health
The Institute of Mental Health is a partnership between Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Nottingham. The Institute of Mental Health was launched in 2006 in Nottingham to help transform our understanding and treatment of mental illness working with academics and clinical staff from Nottinghamshire Healthcare to better the services and treatments available.
