The Academic Centre for Defence Mental Health (ACDMH) was formed as a result of recommendations contained in the Medical Quinquennial Review (MQR) of 2000, the Northern Centre Report of 2001 and in the judgement of His Honour Judge Owen in the PTSD Class Action of 2003.
The mission of ACDMH is to be a resource of research excellence and expertise within Defence Medical Services (DMS) Mental Health Services (MHS) and to act as a catalyst for the promotion of a strong research-based culture within DMSMHS.
ACDMH is wholly funded by the MoD and is led by Professor Simon Wessely.
