The Clinical Research Network (CRN) West of England Mental Health supports recruitment to mental health research studies. CCDAN is collaborating with the CRN to develop a sustainable model for patient and public involvement with our group, specifically in three areas:

• Plain language summaries: creating user-friendly lay summaries of Cochrane reviews which are designed and written by service users and carers 
• Research priorities: including service users and carer’s perspectives when prioritising Cochrane reviews
• Website: developing a glossary of terms to make research evidence more accessible
