St Patrick’s Mental Health Services (SPMHS) is celebrating 20 years of pioneering mental health research with the launch of our new research repository.
SPIRE (St Patrick’s Institutional Repository) is an online collection of over 20 years of research and over 500 mental health research-related items.
A launch event for this new research repository is being held at 11am in the Lecture Hall of St Patrick’s University Hospital on Thursday, 23 January 2024.
About SPIRE
SPIRE is a digital space for research and academic and organisational information generated by staff across a range of clinical and non-clinical disciplines within SPMHS.
Developed by our Academic Institute, SPIRE aims to support and increase the impact of mental health research and to ensure the voices of people who experience mental health difficulties and participate in research are heard and listened to.
