NHS, open access, Publishing, student research, Women's Academic Network, writing

Congratulations to Charlotte Clayton, PhD student in the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal & Perinatal Health (CMMPH) on the publication of an article based on her PhD study.  The paper ‘The public health role of case-loading midwives in advancing health equity in childbearing women and babies living in socially deprived areas in England: The Mi-CARE Study protocol’ is co-authored with her supervisors Prof. Ann Hemingway, Dr. Mel Hughes and Dr. Stella Rawnson [1].

This paper in the European Journal of Midwifery is Open Access, and hence freely available to everybody with an internet access.  Charlotte is doing the Clinical Academic Doctoral (CAD) programme at Bournemouth University. The CAD programme provides midwives with bespoke research training, which includes conducting a piece of independent research whilst also remaining in clinical practice. The CAD programme is part of the NIHR Wessex Integrated Academic Clinical Training Pathway and in her PhD study supported by BU and University Hospital Southampton (UHS), where Charlotte works as a midwife).

NIHR ARC Wessex Mental Health Research Hub

The NIHR ARC Wessex has been awarded funding to boost mental health research. The newly established NIHR ARC Wessex Mental Health Research Hub seeks to bring together researchers from different disciplines and partners across the region to plan and conduct research. It will also encourage and support new research talent through mentorship, internships, a summer school, and new post-doctoral positions. For more details see Wessex Mental Health Research Hub gets £750,000 to boost research into mental health | NIHR Applied Research Collaboration Wessex

The Mental Health Research hub is seeking academics from BU to join teams as co-applicants, collaborators of steering group members.

To build capacity, the following projects have been developed in the approved theme areas:

Ageing (excluding dementia) – promotion of healthy ageing by implementing and evaluating strategies to address alcohol disorders, loneliness and isolation.

Healthy Communities – developing, implementing and evaluating strategies to identify young people at risk of mental health conditions, promote early intervention and care transitions and bolster resilience.

Long-term conditions –  enhancing evidence-based support for those with long term mental health disorders such as treatment resistant anxiety and depression, approaches to mobilising community systems of support and fostering resilience, include social prescribing.

Workforce and Health systems – develop and test evidence-based interventions matched to staff need and the organisational and professional context, to promote mental health, wellbeing and resilience in workforce providing care and treatment to people with mental health problems.

If you are interested in getting involved in one of these projects to boost your own research and develop collaborative opportunities for new research in mental health, please contact me  ASAP and will connect you up!
