User Involvement
The National Forensic Mental Health Research and Development Programme is committed to the involvement of service users in all aspects of the research commissioning process and actively encourages service user involvement in the research we support. Please view the
following documents for an explanation of how the FMH Programme involve service users:
The National Forensic Mental Health Research
and Development Programme has recently undertaken an initiative
to involve forensic service users in commissioning. The following
presentation explains the work of the FMH Programme to involve
service users and specifically forensic service users in the
work of the Programme. This work was presented at the International
Association for Forensic Mental Health Services conference in
Stockholm, Sweden between 6 - 9 June 2004 and the INVOLVE "People
at the Heart of Research" conference 10 - 11 November 2004.
If you are currently a mental health service user
particularly with experience of forensic services and would be
interested in registering as a service user peer reviewer for the
National Forensic Mental Health R&D Programme please feel free
