The National Elf Service (UK) and the Mental Elf

The Mental Elf first came to our attention through Twitter, where a wide range of topics and research areas in mental health are shared and discussed.

This particular elf is part of a bigger group aiming to help professionals keep up to date with the latest health and social care research, including topics such as musculoskeletal, learning disabilities, dentistry – and of course mental health.

For MasterMind, the Mental Elf website, Twitter account, and blogs are interesting as they deal with topics relevant to the project’s goals. Most recently, a blog post about the views of mental health providers on digital technologies as tools in everyday practice caught our eye. The post discusses a study based on two linked surveys, a qualitative and a quantitative, carried out in the US and Canada.
