Improving mental health in primary care: novel psychological and pharmacological interventions

This Centre for Academic Primary Care (CAPC) webinar will showcase work that is taking place at the University of Bristol to research novel interventions for depression, anxiety and PTSD. This includes:

• A multi-centre randomised controlled trial examining the efficacy of a novel psychological intervention – eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) – for depression (the EYE-D trial)
• The development of a prototype for a guided self-help EMDR intervention for PTSD in primary care
• A mixed-methods research programme to investigate the use of beta-blockers for anxiety in primary care.

The webinar is open to anyone with an interest in primary care mental health research. It will be of particular interest to primary care practitioners, policy makers and researchers.
