Health and social care research helps us learn about why we become ill and what we can do to stay well. It advances our knowledge so that we can find new treatments, change the way we deliver care, prevent illness and improve the environment, health and wellbeing of local populations.
We support research that benefits people who use our services and the communities we serve. We have studies for children and young people, dementia, substance misuse, eating disorders, learning disabilities and mental health.
In this study, we are looking at the fingerprints and dried blood spots of individuals taking antipsychotics to monitor compliance with their medication.
We are looking for individuals who are taking one of the following: Clozapine, Olanzapine, Risperidone or Quetiapine.
Obtaining 3 fingerprints from before washing hands and 3 after. This is to then analyse the medication levels in the sweat left behind.
If you are interested in the study or would like more information please contact the Research and Development Department, on 01372 216584 or research@sabp.nhs.uk.
