Established in 2017, the SSRU is a collaboration between Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMMH) and the University of Manchester, led by Professor Gillian Haddock, Professor Daniel Pratt with Dr Paula Duxbury.
It aims to provide crucial evidence to support service and training improvements, and ultimately to contribute to a reduction in suicide and self-harm rates, and to improve the safety of patients.
