The 3rd NIHR Greater Manchester PSTRC Symposium: Patient safety, mental health and COVID-19 is taking place virtually on Tuesday 9th March 2021 from 10.00am until 1.15pm. The symposium is an opportunity to hear about the innovative work on patient safety in relation to mental health and COVID-19 that is underway at the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Greater Manchester Patient Safety Translational Research Centre (NIHR GM PSTRC).
COVID-19 is already taking its toll on the UK population's mental health. This detrimental impact is likely to continue, which will see increased demand on mental health services, as well as an increasingly urgent need for new interventions to improve patient safety.
We will present findings from our mental health research, will share how we have adapted our studies to respond to this developing public health crisis, and will explore new mental health research that we anticipate will have a positive effect in the coming months and years.
We will also host a session ‘Patient and carer involvement and engagement in self-harm and suicide prevention research’ which will be led by mental health researcher Dr Leah Quinlivan, and will include discussion with members of our dedicated mental health patient and public involvement panel.
