A randomised controlled trial of volunteer ‘Health Champions’ supporting people with serious mental illness manage their physical health

This study evaluated an intervention in which volunteer ‘Health Champions’ supported people using mental health services in managing their physical health. This was done in community services in the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. In the presentation we will share what we did and our findings and one of the people who took part will talk about their experience.

The Cost of Living and Multiple Long-Term Conditions Project

This project explored how the Black, Asian and ethnic minority groups who have MLTCs (3 or more conditions) are being affected by the current cost of living situation. We explored how their households, health conditions (physical and mental), finances and employment were being affected. This research was conducted with a range of residents in Lambeth and Southwark and facilitated by our community researchers.

Evaluating place-based models of maternity care for women living in an area of ethnic diversity and social disadvantage

In the context of COVID, the LEAP community of midwifery care is not being delivered consistent to the original study design, as midwifery staff are providing remote consultations and there are staff shortages due to deployment of midwives. This has had significant implications for our evaluation of the LEAP midwifery model. The maternity and perinatal mental health research team are investigating the impact of Covid-19 on women and their families particularly looking at how maternity and perinatal mental health services are delivered now and in the future. In November 2021, the research team published a paper in BMJ Open examining whether birth outcome inequality can be reduced using targeted caseload midwifery. The study shows that a model of caseload midwifery care implemented in disadvantaged areas of Lambeth significantly reduced preterm birth and birth by caesarean section when compared with traditional care.
