Background
A clinical academic general practitioner (GP). His research interest is in the earlier detection of mental disorders in young people in the community.
Scholarship Project/ Idea
Earlier recognition of children and young people with diagnosed ADHD in primary care.
Vibhore used large database research, systematic reviews and digital methods to help people with mental health symptoms. He aspires to improve mental health in young people and working age adults.
Scholarship Impact
Protected time and access to collaborators and mentors at the University of Nottingham allowed Dr Prasad to apply for grants and work on research projects with other researchers with mutual interests.This has been an excellent programme. Without this programme, I may have been unable to continue my postdoctoral clinical academic research career. I was able to access support from the CRN East Midlands, which complimented the support from the NIHR research design service.
During his scholarship Vibhore applied for and the RCGP research paper of the year and the NIHR Senior Clinical and Practitioner Research Award(SCPRA)
