Minisode: Mental health and dementia research

We're back and thrilled to be sitting down with Holly and Dave from the UKMinds project. UKMinds is a new study hosted by the National Centre for Mental Health which is looking to recruit thousands of volunteers to learn more about the causes of conditions like schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder and dementia. Take part today by registering your interest with UKMinds.Following his bipolar disorder diagnosis at 57, Dave volunteered with NCMH sharing his story and later became involved in the UKMinds team, helping to shape research by sharing his experience of bipolar as well as his skills from his background in project management. Read more about Dave's experience on the NCMH website.We're looking forward to sharing more on our latest research and lived-experience stories in the coming months.This episode was recorded at Cardiff University and features NCMH Research Champion Dave, NCMH Project Manager Holly Pearce and NCMH Communications Manager Catrin Hopkins.We hope you enjoy, and if you have any feedback please get in touch at info@ncmh.info or on social media:Twitter - @ncmh_walesInsta - @thencmhFacebook - /walesmentalhealth Hosted on Acast.
