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

Yesterday, Kamran Shafiq and Agnes Chevalier were representing SCENE at #RcpsychWASP23 talking about PPI contributions throughout the Programme so far. Hopefully next time, we’ll be presenting the results!
