Summary
Between 2007 and 2009 there has been a 24% increase in room usage at CEIMH. The main purpose of
bookings has been the delivery of teaching and learning followed by networking events and meetings. The
apparent decline in numbers for 2010 reflects that bookings are still being taken for the current year.
University and external agency usage has remained stable. This summary overview, however, masks a more
complex picture. Whereas in 2007 the major user of the Centre was the Institute of Applied Social Studies,
in the subsequent years the Departments of Neuroscience, Psychology and Health Sciences have made the
majority of bookings. There has also been a diversification of external agencies accessing the Centre – with
an increase in the different sections within the Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust
delivering ‘in house’ training and events.
These figures are an under-representation of Centre usage as they do not include, for example, informal
service user meetings and networking between academics and practitioners. Additionally, Users in
Partnership and Carers in Partnership (who previously booked rooms) now have permanent office
accommodation within CEIMH as do visiting students, SureSearch and a Visiting Fellow from St. Andrew’s
Health Care, who has an honorary attachment to CEIMH.

Mental Health Related Programmes at the University of Birmingham: significant changes and CEIMH’s influence – 2005-2010
The over-riding drivers of content in health-related professional education programmes are the requirements of professional accrediting bodies and
demand from (statutory) employers for skills in particular areas (backed by funding of places). Major gains and losses in mental health related programmes
and content at UoB reflect these outside influences. CEIMH has facilitated bids to offer training, supported input from service users and carers in some
programmes and, to a limited degree, increased cross-disciplinary training.
