Impact

 

The impact of our research 

Our world-leading research impacts and influences on how we understand, prevent and treat mental illness and other conditions that affect the brain.

Our academics work with other universities, industry, healthcare providers and policy makers both locally and globally, to ensure that our research is relevant and influence policy and government on mental health care.

Making a difference is at the heart of what we do at the IoPPN
