Our research
Our Research and Development (R&D) team supports St Andrew’s Healthcare clinicians and external collaborators in delivering our research strategy, focused on improving the lives of people who experience complex mental health issues.
We fund, design and deliver collaborative patient-driven research, generating knowledge and interventions to enhance the lives of patients with some of the most complex mental health needs in the UK.
Our research approach underpins the wider charity’s agenda to deliver value-based, outcome-driven healthcare, delivered through individually personalised care packages and prioritising physical as well as mental health.
We share our knowledge through conference presentations, academic publications and publication in professional media.

Our research approach
At St Andrew's Healthcare Research Centre, we want to drive a new agenda for mental health research in:
- Personalisation: building a patient-centred knowledge base to change individual care and outcomes
- Mental and physical health: developing treatments for the whole person, exploring the interplay between mental and physical conditions
- Transition: enhancing event prediction and care precision to improve patient flow across mental and physical health systems and settings
This approach is applied to our identified research priorities.
