This short film from Devon Partnership NHS Trust gives an insight into what mental health research is and the benefits of getting involved as a research participant.
The film has been made possible by an innovation funding grant awarded to Nicola Walker, Research Clinical Practice Lead at Devon Partnership NHS Trust from the NIHR Clinical Research Network South West Peninsula. It was co-produced with Sophie Dallison, Volunteer Research Champion at Devon Partnership NHS Trust.
The Trust is hugely grateful to the staff and study participants from the South West Peninsula who agreed to be interviewed.
Devon Partnership NHS Trust staff outline why it is important for everyone working in mental health services to speak to clients or service users about mental health research opportunities.
