Active research studies

At GMMH, we want to provide opportunities for our service users and staff to take part in research.

 

We have a wide range of studies covering mental health, dementia and health services. We have a study to suit every service user.

 

Our studies range from questionnaires and observational studies, to clinical and drug trials. Participation can last from as little as 15 minutes to several years.

Many of our studies are high-quality research studies included in the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network (CRN) portfolio.

If you are interested or know somebody who is interested in taking part in any of the studies below, please email askaboutresearch@gmmh.nhs.uk
