RESEARCH
This project aims to work with and learn from eight NHS Trusts to minimise doctors’ mental ill-health and its impacts on the workforce and patient care. Ultimately producing guidance for all NHS Trusts, to optimise the delivery and impacts of interventions to reduce hospital doctors’ mental ill-health.
This project is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
This project aimed to enhance the quality of life of people living with dementia by optimising the design and implementation of community-based gardening initiatives (CBGIs) for people with dementia. This work was conducted in partnership with Age UK Exeter, Innovations in Dementia, a horticultural practitioner and also people affected by dementia themselves.
This led to production of research evidence and guidelines to support development of CBGIs in future. The project was supported by an ESRC Impact Acceleration Account.
This project aimed to increase understanding of the barriers and enablers to implementing prescribing interventions in practice.
With support from ESRC Impact Acceleration funding, our research team has brought together diverse academic and external partners who represent medical education, policy-makers
and clinical practice.
This will lead to the production of an ‘Optimising prescribing toolkit’, to provides resources for clinical practitioners and policy makers.
