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.
This study aims to tailor medication treatment for individuals according to your genetic composition and help speed up finding the most appropriate dose for an individual’s treatment.
If you have a formal mental health diagnosis and are aged 18+ years.
We will work closely with you and your consultant throughout. We will then gain a saliva sample, and with this we will be able to work out the best amount of medication to give you. The study then involves a follow up with you in 6 months time.
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.
