Update Software is working with colleagues at Well Consulting
and the Institute of Psychiatry on a project commissioned
by the Department of Health in February 2005.
The project aims to identify all research and audit projects
relevant to current or future mental health legislation that
are still ongoing or that have been completed since 1 January
2003. These would be projects that might provide information
that could support the introduction, implementation and future
evaluation of the new Mental Health Act.
NHS-funded research projects are being identified using the
National Research Register
(NRR).
Unfortunately the NRR doesn't include audit projects within
the NHS or research projects not involving the NHS.
We are asking for your help to find out about audit projects
or research projects that do not appear in the NRR. If you
think you have projects relevant to our
interests, please download and complete one of forms on
the right hand side and send it to Well Consulting at enquiries@thewellcompany.com
