Latest News (Dec 2013)

A mock nurse consultation has been held with two people from the LEAP. A nurse piloted the service in primary care for people with mental health problems at risk of heart disease (CVD). Feedback will ensure that the service is relevant, meaningful and acceptable to people with mental health problems and carers.

Members of the LEAP have also given feedback about a questionnaire to be used in the PRIMROSE project.

A LEAP intervention development group for 8 people is being planned for early February 2014. Ben will be in touch with a date in due course.

PRIMROSE Award

The PRIMROSE project has won an award for outstanding service user involvement from the Mental Health Research Network (MHRN).

According to a judge of the award: "[the study] covers a major and enormously worthwhile concern, which is often overlooked".

The PRIMROSE project has also been chosen by the MHRN, together with a few other studies, as a good example of service user involvement.  A case study will appear in the next few months.
