RC Psych Integrating Neuroscience Project (Phase 2) (360G-Wellcome-213490_Z_18_Z)

The Royal College of Psychiatrists has been proud to partner with The Wellcome Trust on a co-funded project with the Gatsby Foundation between 2016 and 2018 through the first phase of this project. The ‘Integrating Neuroscience’ project has achieved significant success under the leadership of the President of the RC Psych, guided by an internationally-renowned Neuroscience Commission which was established as a result of this partnership. The project continues to achieve the intended outcomes within budget and on time. Following discussions with both The Gatsby Foundation and The Wellcome Trust, we propose the renewal of this partnership for a further three years. The changes we would like to see as a result of this next phase are: That the sustainability of the project is ensured so that it becomes part of core College business with a curriculum lead funded by the RC Psych. That the recommended changes to the psychiatric curriculum will have been implemented and tested. That we will have secured external funding to assess the impact of these changes. That we will have built a community of neuroscientists and neuro-psychiatrists who will curate the knowledge base and drive collaboration across the whole sector.
