Mental Health - deciding the research priorities for Greater Manchester
Listening Exercise

In Greater Manchester, we have a much higher number of people that are in contact with mental health services than many other parts of the country. [1]

Question Title

Yet research into mental health has also not always focused on the issues that are relevant or important to local people.

We want this to change.

Hearing directly from the public about their own experiences and listening to their views and opinions is an important way that can help us make better decisions. This is why Health Innovation Manchester (HInM) and the Greater Manchester Health and Social Care Partnership (GM HSCP) want to work together with residents to make sure research focuses on what matters to local people.

[1] This data is taken from the Greater Manchester Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy (2016).
