Today @ENMESHmental Conference Phil & Agnes from the @TACK_Study & @study_scene, respectively, were joined by colleagues from City University to host a symposium discussing resource orientation in mental health care. Great session with some great questions from the audience

[Social Psychiatry @QMULSocialPsych]

Many interesting findings contained within the paper but perhaps the most novel (and relatively unexpected) is that those with anxiety disorders had the widest range of SQoL scores & reported lower satisfaction in most domains. This warrants more research #anxiety

[Social Psychiatry @QMULSocialPsych]

NEW ARTICLE: Lauren Jerome & colleagues from the @TACK_Study have just published an individual patient data meta-analysis of 5329 P's with psychosis, depression and anxiety, analysing scores of SQoL (on the MANSA) https://t.co/Rerk8cYn29

Today was our final Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP) meeting- the 17th overall. The TACK study would not have been the same without the insight, efforts and advice of all the experts by experience who have contributed so much over the past 6 years #ppi @QMULSocialPsych

Poster sessions are in full swing! @QMULSocialPsych Lauren is presenting their recent research: A conceptual literature review and narrative synthesis #UKASFPconf23

📣Check out this new publication! Written in collaboration with people with lived experience, three research programs linked to the Unit (SCENE @study_scene, TACK @TACK_Study and OPAL), discuss their different strategies and reflections on involvement

[TACK Study @TACK_Study]

A new publication from some researchers on the TACK team- a useful conceptual framework of solution focused approaches (including DIALOG+) used in adult mental health research. Check it out below

NEW PAPER: Lauren Jerome & colleagues have published a conceptual review of solution focused approaches in adult mental health research. Despite 50 years of development these approaches have remained remarkably consistent & coherent https://t.co/DmA31uvUoC

2nd Lived Experience Advisory Panel meeting with members from the UK, Pakistan and India. Wonderful insights on co-creation in research, challenges on participation in meetings and user involvement. @SRFmentalhealth @TACK_Study @IRDGlobal @NIHRglobal @QMULSocialPsych @QMUL_WIPH

[Social Psychiatry @QMULSocialPsych]

Congrats to the TACK Team for reaching this milestone. Very excited to learn what the results of the trial are in a few months 📈📊

[Andrew Molodynski @AMolodynski]

Fantastic achievement @TACK_Study, vicky,phil and the whole team. We at @OxfordHealthNHS have loved being involved and cant wait to see the results!

[TACK Study @TACK_Study]

The TACK trial has been a huge undertaking to see if DIALOG+ is both clinically- and cost-effective for the treatment of chronic depression. And in a few months time, after data cleaning & analysis, we will have some answers

[TACK Study @TACK_Study]

After 44 long months of recruitment, assessments, staff training, intervention delivery, fidelity testing, qualitative interviewing, data entry & follow ups (including a 7 month suspension of activities due to COVID) the TACK team collected their final trial data today!!

[TACK Study @TACK_Study]

Massive thanks to all the service users and clinicians who trusted us with their data. And so much gratitude to all the researchers who have contributed to the study in some way across the 9 trial sites.

[TACK Study @TACK_Study]

This is only the start of a special international collaboration that will enable more meaningful involvement in research & intervention development for these studies (and hopefully many more) #coproduction #ppi #involvement #dialogplus

[TACK Study @TACK_Study]

A very special day for the experts by experience on the TACK Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP)! For the first time we were able to share experiences of involvement & co-production with other experts by experience in India & Pakistan who are involved in a DIALOG+ study

[PIECESResearch @PiecesResearch]

What a special moment! Lived Experience Advisory Panels (LEAP) from India, Pakistan and the UK exchanging for the first time about their experiences contributing to @PiecesResearch and @TACK_Study. @QMULSocialPsych @QMUL_WIPH @SRFmentalhealth @IRDGlobal @NIHRglobal

[Andrew Molodynski @AMolodynski]

Brilliant session at #RcpsychWASP23 by @study_scene and @TACK_Study about how well experts by experience and researchers can work together to get great results

[Social Psychiatry @QMULSocialPsych]

.@AgnesJChevalier & Kamran Shafiq from the @study_scene & @philipmcnamee & Nick Barber from @TACK_Study gave an insight into specific activities they had completed to ensure co-production was at the heart of their programme activities #involvement #coproduction #RcpsychWASP23

[TACK Study @TACK_Study]

Great to present all the excellent co-production activities the TACK Team have completed over the last few years. Still plenty to do with the TACK Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP) - but also good to reflect on what we have achieved so far

[Social Psychiatry @QMULSocialPsych]

Today at #RCPsychWASP23 some researchers from the Unit & experts by experience presented a symposium on developing & testing interventions through patient & carer involvement. Great to hear both sides of PPI in mental health research

[Social Psychiatry @QMULSocialPsych]

Today was the USCP’s annual Christmas Quiz & Christmas jumper day. The first one in person for a while. Congrats to winners “The TACK-y Crackers” from @TACK_Study who won and many thanks to @VickyBirdie for once again finding the hardest Christmas questions
