Ground-breaking new study seeks people with psychosis to take part
Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust (GMW) is supporting a clinical trial of a new treatment for people with psychosis. The study, ‘ACTION’ is the first of its kind and aims to trial an alternative therapy to antipsychotic medication.
The ACTION trial, which is funded by National Institute of Health Research (NIHR), investigates whether a type of talking treatment, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is effective. If proven effective, this will help make the treatment more widely available in the NHS.
