The Q Improvement Lab brings together organisations and individuals from across the UK to pool what is known about a topic, uncover new insights and develop and test ideas. The Q Lab and Mind have just started a 12-month project focusing on improving care for people with a long-term physical and mental health problem, specifically looking at the experiences of people living with both mental health problems and persistent back and neck pain.
Further details about the project can be found here.
The project is currently in the research and discovery phase where Q Lab is trying to get a better understanding of the topic and unearth the challenges and opportunities within this space.
The Insight Manager for this project, Hannah Patel, is seeking any research or materials linked to the topic of mental health problems and persistent back and neck pain which could support Q Lab in this phase of work. They are trying to gain as broad an understanding of this topic as possible, seeking multiple perspectives on the issue. Please contact hannah.patel@health.org.uk if you can help.
