Research

Over the last two years the Devon Mental Health Alliance has been working in partnership with Health Innovation Southwest and wider system partners to deliver the Research Engagement Network programme, aimed at connecting researchers with marginalised communities to increase uptake in research activity. In particular, the programme recognises the importance of Voluntary and Community Sector organisations as a key facilitator in enabling genuine conversations with diverse communities.

This page contains the outputs from the programme along with links to key stakeholders if you’re interested in connecting with research activity.

If you have any questions about the research activity within the mental health field, please contact tom@devonmind.com.

The Torbay, Plymouth and Devon VCSE Assembly Research Community of Practice is now running and a great forum to engage with colleagues from Voluntary and Community Sector organisations with an interest in research. To find out more information, please contact the Nicola Frost, lead for the group, via nfrost@devoncf.com.

A report summarising learning from the first round of research activity is available here.
