Welcome to the LEAP (PRIMROSE project)

About the PRIMROSE project

The PRIMROSE project is a large scale study run by researchers at University College London (UCL) in partnership with Rethink Mental Illness. People with mental health problems have an increased chance of developing heart problems.  The project aims to develop a training programme for nurses working in GP surgeries to provide better care. 

The Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP).

The LEAP is a group of 27 people who use mental health services and carers.  Their experience is expertise that will help inform the direction of the PRIMROSE project.  This will, in turn, feed directly into the training of nurses to help people who use mental health services.

The LEAP is a critical friend to the PRIMROSE project.  The LEAP discusses important topics and matters that will shape the direction and content of the PRIMROSE project.

This blog has been set up to increase communication between LEAP members.  It is a personal blog and perspective.  It does not necessarily reflect the views of Rethink Mental Illness or the PRIMROSE project team at UCL.
