Collaborations

Psychological services

We have close collaborations with psychological therapy services linked to the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme in England, who support the delivery of clinical trials and the analyses of practice-based data.

Our Lab currently coordinates the activities of the Northern IAPT Practice Research Network.

Academia

As part of our focus on real-world impact of our research, we liaise with clinical services from around the world. We work with them on their datasets to enhance the reach of PEARLS and to feedback our findings on best practice and training to the wider clinical world.

We have established active research collaborations, joint thesis supervision, and academic exchange programmes with labs in the UK, Europe, North America, South America, and Australia, including:
