Connecting with us
We connect researchers working to better understand SMI, creating a place to openly exchange ideas and work together. We champion the voices of people with lived experience in research. We’re also developing new ways to engage with funders, healthcare providers and industries, with the ultimate goal of developing more effective health policies and treatments for people affected by SMI.
So we're keen to hear from everyone with an interest in our research; look through the different sectors below to see what we can do for you!
The MHP Co-ordinating team is based in Edinburgh, and you can send us an email: mhp@ed.ac.uk
We invite researchers and institutions not already involved in the platform to reach out to us to explore the possibility of becoming affiliated members. We welcome collaboration and believe that partnerships can enhance our shared goals and initiatives. For more information, please contact us.
We welcome interaction with industry, including biotech and pharma, technology and software or companies focused on wellness.
If you’re interested and you'd like to discuss ways to work together, or if you’d like updates on our research through our quarterly newsletter, please get in touch.
We are also involved in holding industrial forums for biotech and pharma to discuss opportunities. Keep an eye on our events page for more information
Do you have lived experience of severe mental illness (SMI)? Perhaps you live with SMI, or care for someone with SMI. If you’re interested in research there’s different ways to get involved.
- Each hub has different ways of involving people with lived experience, so we suggest taking a look at the website for the hub which is geographically closest to you. We also post about hubs with involvement opportunities and open recruitment on our social media.
