Funded by Welsh Government and run by Cardiff University, the HHP Wales service will now operate from the Division alongside world-leading mental health research centres such as NCMH, the Neuroscience and Mental Health Research Institute (NMHRI), and the MRC Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics (MRC CNGG).
Professor Jon Bisson, Director of HHP Wales and NCMH Deputy Director (pictured below), said:
I am delighted that HHP Wales is now part of the Division of Psychological Medicine and Clinical Neurosciences. We will work closely with NCMH to complement its world-leading research endeavours with an excellent clinical service for people working for NHS Wales.
“HHP Wales has expanded significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, receives very positive feedback from those it supports and I am confident that its new home will facilitate its further development.”
HHP Wales was set up to provide free, confidential mental health support for doctors in Wales. It extended its support to all NHS staff in Wales during the coronavirus pandemic.
