Project Three
Testing the package and procedures and finding out what needs to change
In Spring 2022, we'll begin the third project - a small study which will be the first test of the new support package. Working with two NHS mental health trusts we'll recruit around 16 people with severe mental illness who smoke and who are currently in hospital. At the end of the study we'll ask participants and the people who support them, as well as the specialist mental health workers who delivered the package what work and what didn't work so well. We will then use this information to make changes to the support package and the way it is delivered to ensure that it works well.
