There’s been lots of reports on how the outdoors, green areas, gardening and nature can help with mental health. I’m lucky I live next to the Malvern Hills and can get out and about in the hills with no problems with social distancing. I’ve also got a wild garden to get lost in. My passions are mountains, rivers and the sea. I’m a bit lost without…Read more

I am a GP with an interest in the interaction between physical and mental health. I think the distinction is not always a helpful way of understanding humans, and this is especially true with chronic pain. Our health beliefs play an important role in our overall wellbeing, both mental and physical, and as health care professionals there is a…Read more

Hi William,
I agree that the examination of professionals’ health beliefs would be a potentially very fruitful avenue to explore.
Somewhat related to this is the lack of confidence physical health care workers may have in treating co-morbid mental health conditions, and vice versa for mental health workers. For instance research has indicated…Read more-
Indeed. I have experienced this first hand whilst working in in-patient psychiatry whilst cross covering the main hospital. “Expert generalists” may be able to help in taking an holistic view.

About this group
This group is for people interested in mental health and persistent pain.
It was created as part of the Q Lab’s project, in partnership with Mind, focusing on the experiences of people living with both mental health problems and persistent back and neck pain, and how care can be designed to best meet their health and wellbeing needs.
Those involved in the project as Lab participants are invited to join, as well as Q members who may have an interest or expertise in the topic area more broadly.
This group is a space to connect with others and we hope it will be a place for open conversations and discussions on this topic.
Please note this is a public group (anyone can see the discussions, although people will need to log in or create an account to post to the group).
This group is convened by Jo Scott
