Peter Huxley is a Professor of Mental Health Research and Chair in Mental Health Research at the School of Health Sciences, Bangor University. His work focuses on mental health, social inclusion, quality of life, and healthcare integration. He leads several research projects addressing gaps in mental health services, including collaborative care models (e.g., PARTNERS2), the digital divide among individuals with severe mental illness, and social prescribing policies. His research spans global health contexts, with studies in low- and middle-income countries such as Sri Lanka and Hong Kong.
Key research interests include self-harm prevention, mental health policy, and cross-cultural measurement of social inclusion using tools like the Social & Community Opportunities Profile (SCOPE). He has led over 30 international projects, including studies on healthcare pathways (Goldberg-Huxley model), economic evaluations, and mindfulness interventions for care home staff in Wales.
