The MHP Research Summit in partnership with MQ connects researchers, clinicians, ECRs, people with lived experience of SMI and external partners. Leading researchers in the field share the latest developments and identify ways to collaborate on future projects.

It provides a dedicated platform to share current research into the complex biological, psychological, and social dimensions of conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, diagnoses related to complex emotions, and depression.

As part of our commitment to transforming outcomes for people affected by SMI, the event brings together expertise from across different disciplines.

The MHP Research Summit is also a place for the next generation of mental health researchers to present their work, connect with peers, and learn from leading experts in the field.

The MHP Research Summit is an event for scientists, clinicians and health care professionals to network and share the latest advances in research into severe mental illness. While it is not a public event, we will be sharing stories and research highlights from the day through our website and social media.
