Charlotte Wheeler, Study Manager
I am working as a Study Manager on MINDS (investigating the process of discharge and discharge planning from adult inpatient mental health services), and ALLIANCE (investigating the relationships between staff and service users in inpatient eating disorder settings).
My role involves coordinating the studies and ensuring that everything runs according to plan, as well as getting involved in activities such as recruiting and interviewing participants, reviewing literature, and analysing data. I work as part of a large team of people in research, clinical, and lived experience who have come together because they want to improve peoples' experiences of mental health services.
Getting to work with such a broad range of people with a variety of skills and expertise is brilliant, and I feel very privileged to be able to watch and learn from such talented individuals and teams. Knowing that the research that I am involved with has the potential to create meaningful change in mental health settings feels worthwhile and something I am proud to be a part of.
