Amanda Marchant

The final ECR presentation for the day is Dr. @AmandaMarch7 from @SwanseaUni presenting on The Impact of Published Guidance on Trends in the Pharmacological Management of Depression in Children and Adolescents - a whole population e-cohort data linkage study in Wales, UK. Key finding: Antidepressant prescribing for children and young people changed after 2016 guidance, but not as expected. #MentalHealthResearch #DataScienceMeeting #ECR

Next up in the ECR presentations, Ms. Luce Stewart from @KingsIoPPN presents Mortality in mental health service users without a diagnosis - a South London EHR linkage study. Their findings show that people with unspecified/uncertain diagnoses have significantly higher standardised mortality ratios (SMR), similar to those with F-code (mental health) diagnoses. #MentalHealthResearch #ECR #DataScienceMeeting @MQmentalhealth

Up first at our Data Science Meeting with @MQmentalhealth is Dr. Elizabeth Ford from @bma_bsms discussing the ethical challenges of using AI in data-driven mental health care. How can AI help without reinforcing inequalities? Involvement of patients and end users throughout the AI development process is crucial to reduce stigma and bias. #MentalHealthInnovation #AI #MentalHealthResearch. Stay tuned for more…

Our Data Science Meeting with @MQmentalhealth kicks off this morning with a warm welcome from @L_Arseneault. Ready for a day of incredible insights and discussions on data-driven mental health innovation? Stay tuned for updates #MentalHealthResearch

Good Morning all! We are very excited today at MQ to be welcoming speakers to the @DatamindUK Data Science Meeting. If you have an interest in science or #mentalhealth then following our live tweets today might just be for you. What is DATAMIND? Let us explain…

So pleased @SamaritansCymru will be ensuring Lived Experience shapes and engages with this vital new Research Centre, at every turn. It's going to be a real asset for Wales, with influence far beyond.

In one year in Wales…the visible are those who die by suicide or who contact health services for self-harm…

We welcome the launch of the National Centre and its appointment as the Advisory body to the Welsh Government. Having a strong research evidence base for self‑harm and suicide in Wales will help to provide better support and implement good policy. @WGHealthandCare

Great to see the launch of strategy today and so excited to be part of the centre

🚨 Launching today in Wales: The National Centre for Suicide Prevention and Self-Harm Research. Led by @ProfAnnJohn @SwanseaUni in partnership with @cardiffuni, @UniSouthWales and the @samaritans, the Centre, funded by @ResearchWales will drive evidence-based change and play a key role in delivering the new national strategy on suicide and self-harm prevention which is being also launched today by Minister @SarahMurphyMS 💬 “This Centre will be a national hub for research and innovation, embedding the voices of the bereaved and those with lived experience.” – Professor Ann John 🔗 To read about the Centre: swansea.ac.uk/press-office/n… 🔗 To read about the new strategy vision: gov.wales/new-vision-red… #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealth #Wales #SelfHarm
