The General Practice Research Unit (GPRU) was established at the Institute of Psychiatry in the late 1950s, under the honorary directorship of Professor Michael Shepherd. For 30 years it has been staffed by medically qualified workers and social scientists supported, at various times, by the Nuffield Foundation, the Mental Health Research Fund, and the Department of Health and Social Security, as well as by university monies.
