Joint seminar with the NIHR PRU in Behavioural and Social Sciences

We were delighted to host colleagues from the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Behavioural and Social Sciences for a cross-PRU workshop at the end of January.

Following presentations from both Units at the Centre for Psychiatry and Mental Health (QMUL) seminar, we spent the afternoon discussing opportunities to work together and share best practice. Our DeNPRU-QM speakers were:

– Dr Charlotte Kenten giving an overview of DeNPRU-QM research
– Malvika Muralidhar sharing findings from a National Survey of Older People’s Community Mental Health Teams in England
– Dr Harriet Demnitz-King presenting the Nottingham consensus on dementia risk reduction policy
– Jo Brown outlining how our research is shaped by people living with dementia and neurodegenerative diseases and their family carers.

Thank you to Fiona, Beth and Dev from the BaSS PRU team for speaking at the seminar, and to Laura, Vivi and Alison for leading workshop sessions on capacity building and PPIE.
