Research study details

Overview

We want to understand more about psychosis and related conditions. To do so, this study will collect information about you from clinical (medical) records, from blood and other samples, and from questionnaires.

Overall, we aim at improving the lives of individuals experiencing psychosis, by:

• Understanding these conditions better, including risk factors.
• Helping to develop tailored early treatment approaches.
• Allowing us to recruit people for future studies.

Overview

We are working on new ways to diagnose early signs of alzheimer’s disease. We have developed tests of thinking skills and memory, and want to know if they are good enough for the NHS.

Overview

We are inviting people with a diagnosis of dementia who are also experiencing low mood and/or anxiety to participate in a 12-week group offering Compassion Focused Therapy at a venue in Exeter.

Overview

Participants will be invited to complete questionnaires, with optional blood samples, optional saliva samples, and an optional 7-day data collection using their phone, with follow-ups at 6 and 12 months. 

Participants will be reimbursed per study activity completed. If participants complete all study measures, they may be reimbursed up to £380 in vouchers over 12-months. The study visits will usually take place in person.

We are recruiting people aged 18-95 years, open to secondary services, with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, psychosis and bipolar. Participants are required to have capacity to consent and speak English language well.
