Annotation	Developing 'patient-centred' health services has become a goal in many countries, but little work has been done to identify what research is needed to support the development of such services within mental health. The aim of this study (which was carried out for the NHS Service Delivery and Organisation programme, SDO) was to consult all relevant stakeholder groups to establish research priorities for developing 'patient-centred' mental health services in the UK. More than 1,000 stakeholders were consulted, including service users, carers and mental health professionals. The consultation identified 12 thematic areas requiring further research. These should be prioritised if services are to become more centred on the needs and aspirations of the people who use them. (KJ/RH).
