A very successful and well attended LEAP meeting was held in July.
The meeting drew together the larger LEAP. They looked at and reworked the information leaflet to recruit people to the trial in GP surgeries.
The group also discussed a user- led research project to be run by a small group of service users and carers from the LEAP. It is hoped to conduct user- led research by people from the LEAP.
The issue of recruitment to trials and engagement with the Primrose service was highlighted as a possible research project.

Latest LEAP Activity
The LEAP intervention development group met last month at a very interesting and positively received meeting.
Members of the LEAP have recently given feedback in a number of areas, including: the Primrose information leaflet in GP surgeries; the Primrose information letter and reply slip; and questionnaires.
Members of the LEAP have also been contacted to ask if they want their names to appear on the Primrose website and nurse training manual, as an acknowledgement of their important involvement and contribution in the Primrose project.
Ben is drafting a paper, 'experts by experience', that ties his lived experience of mental illness with the work of the LEAP.

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.
