MindTech Patient and Public Involvement

Our strategy
Our strategic aims for involvement at MindTech are to ensure that:
1. Our approach integrates the perspectives and priorities of those with lived experience of the conditions, problems and treatments we are seeking to improve;
2. Our work results in real patient benefit.
To do this, we take a multi-level approach including:
(i) the MindTech Involvement Team: a group of experienced involvement volunteers who contribute to the work of MindTech in various ways
(ii) involvement plans for individual projects: individual volunteers with an interest in a specific project (or mental health topic) work with researchers on a dedicated project
(iii) ways to identify patient priorities for technological innovation: staff and volunteers engage with service users and members of the public to explore priorities and unmet needs
Different ways to be involved with MindTech
There are three main ways of being involved with MindTech:
