We'll be meeting this coming Wednesday 11th April from 6 - 7:30pm at MadLab. Whether you've been coming to the group for years or have never been, we're here to give you a warm welcome and a friendly ear. Free tea, coffee and biscuits for all.
We have Laoise Renwick, a speaker from the University of Manchester coming to ask for our input on what the priorities should be for psychosis research. It's not often that we get to influence the early stages of research so do come along if you can. See below for more about Laoise and the VIP Project.
MadLab is located on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter just a short walk from Piccadilly Station, Piccadilly Gardens and Shudehill Metrolink. See MadLab's 'how to find us' page for more: https://madlab.org.uk/find-us/
I'm not sure whether we'll be in the upstairs or downstairs meeting room. If you're not sure then just press the 'Office' buzzer and you'll be directed.

About Laoise: Laoise graduated as a mental health nurse in 2001 and has worked in several staff nurse and community based positions including addictions, eating disorders and community mental health nursing. She has spent most of her working life in early intervention in psychosis but now works as a lecturer within the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work at the University of Manchester.
About The VIP Project: The VIP Project aims to help people with psychosis, their families and clinicians collaborate to identify the most important issues for research in this area. Early intervention in psychosis has been a growing research area for the past three decades and there is now greater understanding than ever before of how illness develops and its impact. There is also growing evidence for new and innovative interventions. We are concerned that the decisions about how to fund research into psychosis is not always based on the priorities of people who use the evidence so to make the research a more collaborative process, we want to encourage more involvement from service users, carers and clinicians. We aim to find out what issues they are currently facing and identify a list of research priorities by hosting a workshop in the University in September 2018 and gathering people’s views.
