The University of Liverpool is hosting a mental health-focused research workshop to bring together all healthcare professionals who have a role or a major interest in mental health, with academics, to start to address key clinical questions of need. 

Healthcare professionals are invited to outline a key challenge or clinical question that requires investigation to Dan Joyce (d.joyce@liverpool.ac.uk) or Rosie Corbin (r.corbin@liverpool.ac.uk) by 12pm Tuesday 25 April 2023.  Clinical academics with a joint appointment with the University of Liverpool (or other members of University staff) are not be eligible to propose a clinical question for consideration, but are encouraged to join the workshop. 

Up to three key challenges or questions will be selected and advertised to healthcare professionals and academics to join a workshop on Thursday 18 May from 1pm to 4pm (venue TBC- either Mersey Care The Sine) You can register for the event on Eventbrite.

The workshop will allow round table discussions and bring together people from diverse disciplines with an interest in working together to explore how priority health problems or unmet clinical needs, posed by healthcare professionals at the coalface, can potentially be addressed by multi disciplinary teamworking.  It will consider possible projects, how they could be developed, and external funding schemes. 

In order to progress (one or more of) the translational research questions under discussion, and facilitate substantive larger scale funding success, pump priming funds of up to £25,000 will be made available. 

We particularly encourage people from a broad range of mental health related roles to participate, including clinicians, healthcare professionals from nursing, pharmacy, general practitioners, mental health specialists, clinical scientists, pathologists, health data scientists/informaticians, and other specialist groups in mental health.
