Not quite a lab. More than a group.
MIND Hive is a collective of researchers, clinicians, scholars & learners. We all wear different hats at different times. We build with each other.
Picture a honeycomb. You can imagine that each hexagon within the comb is a separate and independent research group, but that there can be cross-pollination of ideas, projects, plans, people. We hope that the hive will help to draw other collaborating areas of our hospital site as well as a range of medical and surgical specialties. We are a resource for trainees looking to develop skills in critical methodologies.
