Personalised approaches to care in psychosis: lessons from the UK early psychosis mental health mission
Date: Thursday 26 June
Time: 10.30am - 11.45pm
Overview
In this symposium, we will be showcasing how, through the NIHR Mental Health Mission – a £42 million project aiming to build research infrastructure within the NHS – we have been advancing towards providing personalised care to patients with severe mental illness, including psychosis.
We will provide an overview of how 2,000 patients with early psychosis will be recruited and deeply phenotyped, including by acquiring their electronic health records, by obtaining their mental health data over time through the use of a purpose-built phone app, as well as by conventional means, through clinician-administered questionnaires. Participants will also give samples that will be analysed to obtain ‘omic phenotypes including exome sequencing and proteomics.
Our speakers, chaired by Professor Graham Murray, will provide:
- Professor Rachel Upthegrove, from Oxford, will provide an overview of EPICARE, a national integrated digital registry and clinical decision support system, including how app-based psychiatric scales and live phenotype readings, can benefit research and participants;
- Dr Kim Kendall, from Cardiff, will offer a view of the future of clinical ‘omic phenotyping in psychiatry, with a case study on schizophrenia genetics (Kim?);
- Dr Emanuele Osimo, from Cambridge, will talk about how phenotyping individuals with early psychosis can have clinical benefit by providing tailored clinical care, focusing on risk prediction modelling.
The session will outline how research can directly benefit clinical practice, by a) developing digital systems that can directly improve patient care; b) providing more funding and better staffing for clinical services; c) improving our knowledge of psychotic disorders; d) advancing personalised approaches to medicine.
In this session, you will:
- provide an overview of EPICARE, a national integrated digital registry and clinical decision support system
- provide an overview of the Early Psychosis Mission, a national infrastructure programme advancing early intervention service research.
- present the potential clinical benefits of large-scale research projects in psychiatry.
