Professor Louise Howard, Professor in Women’s Mental Health in theDepartment of Health Service & Population Research at King's College London.Differences in the epidemiology of mental disorders in men and women are well-established. Despite this, it could be argued that until recently mental health research largely ignored sex (and gender) differences, risking undermining of scientific validity and efficiency, and potentially contributing to a failure of health providers to deliver gender-sensitive mental health treatments and services, to the detriment of both men and women. The IoPPN research group Section of Women’s Mental Health have therefore focused on gendered determinants of mental disorders (and other structural determinants) and investigated gender sensitive interventions particularly perinatal mental health treatments and services. In this keynote talk, Professor Howard will discuss some of the group’s recent findings and their impact.

How do we support health and care staff who are burned out, exhausted and thinking of leaving their profession?Christina Krause, CEO of the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council previews her workshop with Helen Bevan from NHS Horizons, which takes place on Wednesday 22nd June 2022: Rest and recovery post-covid: a necessary step for quality.Covid-19 placed unprecedented stress on healthcare systems across the globe. The pandemic took us through the fear of the unknown, overwhelmed health systems, delays and cancellations of ‘regular’ care. We have big challenges managing the tension between the recovery of our people and the recovery of healthcare services. This interactive session will explore organizational energy and practical strategies on recovery from significant events such as a pandemic. We will explore how we might re-design the way we work so that when we face another crisis, we are prepared to support the wellness of our teams and health of our system. After this session, participants will be able to: -Articulate the need for post-pandemic rest and recovery to ensure the sustainability of our people and the healthcare system -Identify the multiple aspects of organizational energy and implement strategies for addressing in the context of post-pandemic recovery -Explore how quality improvement can play a pivotal role in people recovery and service recovery.Christina Krause is the Chief Executive Officer of the BC Patient Safety & Quality Council and an Adjunct Professor, School of Population & Public Health, Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. Her interests include the use of social change models and network theory in efforts to engage and mobilize stakeholders, as well as the role of culture, teamwork and communication to advance quality of care. Christina is an EXTRA Fellow with the Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement, a member of the Board for the OSNS Child & Youth Development Centre, and a member of the Board Quality Committee at Canuck Place Children’s Hospice.

How can mathematics contribute to mental health research? Although the two seem distinct, the connection is found in data. Mathematics can help make sense of complex, messy evolving data, helping to build a helpful bigger picture from multiple smaller snapshots.JJ speaks to Professor Terry Lyons, the principal investigator on EPSRC-funded DataSig, about how his work in mathematics led him to mental health research. He also talks about the importance of interdisciplinary research, and the role of the EPS community in mental health research.This is a fascinating episode from the #MentalHealthResearchMatters interdisciplinary podcast series.Thank you Terry for taking part.Find out more about DataSig: https://www.datasig.ac.uk/Find out more about Mental Health Research Matters: www.mentalhealthresearchmatters.org.uk

The Mental Health Research Matters team spoke to Dr Aisling Ann O'Kane and Dr Amid Ayobi from the SPHERE project to find out more about human-computer interactions and mental health.Amid and Aisling are part of a team of 100 researchers from different disciplines working on SPHERE - an EPSRC-funded project where participants use wearable or at-home sensors to monitor physical and mental health problems at home. These sensors can help researchers better understand physical and mental health conditions outside of a lab or hospital setting.Amid and Aisling discuss the importance of interdisciplinary research, researching health problems that serve and involve the communities you're trying to help, and share tips for early-career engineering and physical sciences researchers looking to get involved in mental health.Find out more about SPHERE here:https://www.bristol.ac.uk/engineering/research/digital-health/research/sphere/Find out more about #MentalHealthResearchMatters here: www.mentalhealthresearchmatters.org.uk
