Welcome unpaid carers. There is a new research Opportunity from the University of East London.

Carers can play a vital role in supporting someone with psychosis, particularly when an inpatient admission is needed, but unfortunately are often left out of important conversations. I’m hoping that this research can go a small way towards including carers’ voices in the discourses around restrictive practice/the development of inpatient services.

Alison Byrne who is a Trainee Clinical Psychologist at the University of East London is looking to reach people who are:

• Over 18 years old
• A relative or other carer (including friends) of someone who experiences ‘psychosis’ (e.g. delusions, hallucinations, or other unusual experiences; a formal diagnosis is not necessary)
• Their loved one has had at least one admission on a UK inpatient ward relating to these experiences
