Mental health services and Covid-19: Policy briefing, Centre for Mental Health

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the lives of people with mental health difficulties and on mental health services. This briefing identifies key themes from a survey of mental health service staff in the UK and a review of studies across the world. The studies were conducted by the NIHR Mental Health Policy Research Unit (MHPRU) at University College London and King ' s College London. Its aim is to help the Department of Health and Social Care and others involved in making nationwide plans for mental health services to make decisions based on good evidence. Centre for Mental Health and The Mental Elf work alongside the Unit to ensure its work is accessible and relevant to policymakers, practitioners and the public.
