Psychiatry and Medicine

We carry out research at the interfaces between psychiatry and other areas of medicine including research into the treatment of depression in people who are medically ill, the causes of self-harm and suicide and the role of factors such as inflammation and obesity in the development of psychiatric disorders.

As a group we undertake research across the translational spectrum, ranging from basis science studies, through to trials of new treatments and approaches for psychosis, right through to researching clinical services and their effectiveness. We work closely with the Oxfordshire Early Intervention in Psychosis Service in Oxford Health NHS FT. This service provides high quality, multi-discliplinary care for people experiencing first episode of psychosis and their families. We also lead the Early Intervention Psychosis network for the NHS in the South of England, providing the opportunity to speed up the translation of new research findings into routine clinical care. You can find out more about our current studies below.
