SPIRE is a new research repository to communicate and share research from St Patrick’s Mental Health Services (SPMHS).
SPIRE (St Patrick’s Institutional Repository) is an online space designed to store, catalogue, preserve our academic outputs. It aims to make the published research work of our staff as widely available as possible.
SPIRE is a central hub for mental health research, with a wealth of valuable resources to enhance the quality of mental healthcare and inform future developments in mental health treatment.
We hope that SPIRE will benefit our service users, their carers, staff and healthcare professionals, and the wider mental health research community. It represents our commitment to fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and continuous improvement in the field of mental healthcare.
How to use SPIRE
SPIRE has been developed by our Academic Institute.
SPIRE includes the full text of journal articles, conference presentations, book chapters, technical reports, working papers, reviews, and other scholarly contributions.
Where material has already been published by external sources, it is made available subject to the open-access policies of the original publishers.
At SPIRE, you can discover collections relating to each discipline, as well as search by issue date, author, title, and subject.
SPIRE is a living resource, and will continue to grow on an ongoing basis to include all research by our staff.
If you have any questions about SPIRE, you can contact our Academic Institute Programme Manager, Gráinne Donohoe, by emailing gdonohue@stpatricks.ie.
