Research Hero of the Month – November 2024

This month’s Research Heroes are Psychologist professions.

Psychologists contribute to research in lots of different ways around the Trust. This is from being Co-Applicants, Principal Investigators, supervising DClinPsy projects, completing higher degrees, being interventionists or conducting small scale individual projects. As you can see the psychological profession are essential contributors to research!

A special interest group (SIG) for research for psychological professions was recently set up. This brings together staff working in psychological professions to think about all things research! Anyone can contribute whether you have experience with research or not. There are invited speakers as well as the opportunity to discuss ideas for research.

The research SIG demonstrate the enthusiasm for research amongst psychological professions across the Trust and they are getting involved in research in all kinds of ways! If you are working in the psychological professions and would like to know more about research or the SIG please contact Ranil Tan (ranil.tan@nhs.net) or Phil Arthington (phil.arthington@nhs.net). Thanks for all psychological professionals supporting research in anyway.

Phil and Ranil say….

“We know that many psychological professionals carry research skills and knowledge that they may not use in their everyday roles. Others might have an interest in getting involved in research but can be unsure where to start. We think there is untapped potential for our professional group to become more active in using and doing research. We created this special interest group as a friendly and supportive space for us to share research ideas, resources and opportunities, with the aim of narrowing the gap between research and clinical practice. All aspiring and qualified psychological professionals are welcome to get involved.”
