Getting involved in Research

Patient Information and health and care research.- Read how GDPR effects research activity here.

Involving service users and carers in the planning and undertaking of research is a Department of Health priority and a key requirement for NHS research funding.

Our Service User Research Champions can help to recruit people with lived experience of a range of mental health conditions to support clinical studies.

We can also help secure funds to support involving users and carers in the early stages of research planning.

If you are a Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust service user or carer and you would like to find out more about becoming involved in local research opportunities we would be happy to hear from you.
