BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1 PRIMENT CTU Priment CTU is collaboration between the UCL Research Department of Primary Care and Population Health and the UCL Division of Psychiatry. The CTU coordinates and runs randomised control trials (RCTs) and other large cohort studies. The Directors of the CTU at UCL are Professor Irwin Nazareth and Professor Michael King. The UCL academic collaboration behind this has existed for over 15 years and consists of multidisciplinary teams including clinical researchers in psychiatry, primary care, psychology, palliative care, nursing, epidemiology, trial management and statistics. Over the years this group has conducted clinical trials and other large studies on severe mental illnesses, common mental disorders (i.e. depression and anxiety disorders) and other common clinical conditions in primary care. The strategic direction of Priment CTU has evolved from the research activities undertaken by the collaboration and includes the evaluation of cognitive behaviour therapy and other interventions for depression in primary care, smoking cessation interventions, care packages for severe mental illnesses in primary care, the evaluation of common treatments in primary care, and the implementation of treatments in general practice and community mental health. The UCL collaboration has several specific themes within it, such as mental health (to include severe and common mental disorders) e-health, dementias and trials and statistics methods. Each team is multidisciplinary and supported by administrative staff, and the CTU as a whole has both statistical and health economics expertise. www.ucl.ac.uk/priment/ 1.2 RESEARCH DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY CARE & POPULATION HEALTH The Research Department of Primary Care and Population Health is part of the Institute of Epidemiology and Health Care and is headed by Professor Irwin Nazareth.

Traditionally, pedigrees are used to shed light on the latter only, while here we discuss the application of polygenic risk scores to also highlight patterns of common genetic risk. We analyze polygenic risk scores for psychiatric disorders in a large pedigree (n ~ 260) in which 30% of family members suffer from major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder.

  • Health Tech Innovator Drdoctor Gains Three New NHS Contracts
    Press release Health tech innovator DrDoctor gains three new NHS contracts Patient appointment innovator DrDoctor is working with three new major NHS Trusts: • A major children’s hospital, where the system is being configured in record time and will manage the Trust’s 150000 specialist outpatient appointments • Whittington Health NHS Trust, covering all appointments across the Trust • University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, DrDoctor is piloting in Paediatrics to demonstrate an estimated 30% DNA rate reduction DrDoctor supports hospitals with digital transformation. Its system allows patients to view, change and schedule outpatient appointments themselves, online, on smartphone or by conversational SMS. DrDoctor chief executive Tom Whicher said: “We are thrilled to support three more forward thinking Trusts in their journey to provide effective, digital first, patient centric services. All three implementations will deliver, in year cash savings, increase patient satisfaction and form a strong foundation for future digital transformation.” DrDoctor reduces the number of missed and unscheduled appointments and allows patients to opt in to receiving paperless communications, releasing print and postage savings to Trusts. New analysis at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has revealed that in one year the Trust has saved £2.2m, and patient satisfaction is 96 percent. DrDoctor is supporting a major London children’s hospital’s strategic plan to become the leading paediatric centre in the world. DrDoctor was engaged in January 2017 to deploy its Appointment Management Platform. DrDoctor’s platform is a fundamental shift away from an inconsistent approach to appointment management. The platform will go-live in the summer of 2017.

  • Self-Care in Young People with Diabetes: a Qualitative Exploration Using a Salutogenic Approach
    SELF-CARE IN YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DIABETES: A QUALITATIVE EXPLORATION USING A SALUTOGENIC APPROACH EMMA GREEN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates experiences of self-care amongst young people with diabetes using a qualitative salutogenic approach. Diabetes self-care includes injecting insulin, counting carbohydrates, attending hospital check-ups and other activities to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Optimal blood sugar levels are not always easy for young people with diabetes to attain, placing them at increased risk of health complications. A lack of self-care has been assumed traditionally to indicate a lack of knowledge. This exemplifies a ‘deficit’ approach whereby efforts to improve self-care focus heavily on diabetes education to increase knowledge. However, there is a lack of evidence that young people lack diabetes knowledge or that education-only interventions are effective. This thesis applies salutogenesis as an alternative to the deficit approach in which young people are conceptualised as individuals and their capabilities are acknowledged. The empirical work undertaken includes: a meta-ethnography of the international qualitative literature, analysis of semi-structured interviews with young people living in a diverse urban area of the UK, defined as disengaged from diabetes self-care (N=14): and a qualitative study conducted with young people participating in novel salutogenic projects which focused on their capabilities rather than ‘correcting’ their deficits (N=5). Across the studies it was found that ‘identity work’ underpins young people’s experiences with diabetes self-care.

This report is one of four reports drawing together findings from evidence sessions held by the Commission during 2018. In our mental and physical health session we examined the potential for innovations which directly impact mental and physical health. We found there are significant gains to be made by increasing the rate of development, incubation and spread of innovation in this area. Sally Bowell Sally joined the International Longevity Centre as a Research Fellow in May 2017. Her work at the think tank has focused predominantly on health & social care, looking at topics such as music- based interventions for people with dementia, ageism in the breast cancer care pathway, and innovation in physical and mental health. 2 Physical and mental health: health and wellbeing commission Executive summary The benefits of innovation include improved quality of care, enhanced patient outcomes, and cost efficiencies. However, there are challenges to realising the potential of innovation in this area – and particularly in relation to moving from development to roll out and scaling.

  • Director's View: December 2020 Message from the Director And
    Director's view: December 2020 Message from the Director and Manager Welcome to the latest edition of the Institute’s termly newsletter, which is an update and highlights some of the many excellent activities at the Institute over the past 4 months. There have been many recent significant Institute achievements, some attracting major media attention (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ion/news). It’s been nearly a year since the Covid-19 pandemic emerged around the world and made it very challenging for the fantastic work you all deliver in the Institute to continue as normal. We want to thank every single one of you who is helping us manage this unprecedented crisis and for the incredible innovation and collegiate spirit you have all shown. We have collectively adjusted to a “new normal” way of life, mastered the art of socialising with our friends and loved ones over Zoom, and gradually resumed most of our core work activities. IoN was part of the UCL pilots for re-opening buildings in June and we have since successfully re-opened all of them throughout the summer, thanks to your help and support. For more information please visit the Keeping safe on campus pages. There are a range of tools and initiatives available to all staff and students to help you cope during these difficult times, and to support you whilst working remotely. We have successfully restarted our planning for a new world-leading Translational Neuroscience Centre ; demolition of the old site on Gray’s Inn Road is well underway. As part of this major capital project, we are developing a number of new initiatives to improve laboratory support and ways of working.
