A Cavendish Square Group publication 33 Key statistics about the Trust Latest research undertaken by the Trust International work and partnerships Over the last 20 years, the Trust has been actively involved in the development of mental health services. Its research provides the evidence base for many services which have been rolled out nationally within the UK, and now there is interest from organisations abroad. The Trust has begun forging firm links with countries such as Mongolia, which as a country is interested in the way we provides services in the community. The opportunity arose following a visit by a Mongolian delegation to London in 2013, which was funded by the Asian Development Bank. With support from the British Ambassador to Mongolia, the Trust established a project team to pursue long-term commercial partnership with the Mongolian Centre for Mental Health. The intention is for the partnerships to be commercially financed, delivering benefits to both parties. Around 40,000 service users are seen each year. The Trust delivers 70+ services from over 40 sites. We have a Monitor Continuity of Service rating of 4. This is the best score possible and means Monitor consider the Trust as being financially robust. The organisation is recognised internationally for the quality of its research and innovation. Over 25% of its consultants hold joint academic posts and are engaged in research across a wide range of mental health arenas. This research, often conducted with the help of patients, ensures the Trust retains its place as a leader in evidence based treatment and services, allowing it to provide some of the world’s most up to date therapies to aid service user recovery. The Trust is a lead provider for educational placements in North London, and works in partnership with local universities to deliver both education and research projects as well as creating together the workforce of the future. The latest research includes: A study by Prof. Gill Livingston into “START” looking at family carers of people with dementia and ways to decrease their distress Professor Johnson’s CORE Programme grant looking at optimising team functioning, preventing relapse and enhancing recovery in Crisis Resolution Teams (CRTs) The REAL (Rehabilitation Effectiveness for Activities for Life) study focusses on people with longer term, complex mental health problems who require inpatient rehabilitation. Although only 10% of people with severe mental illness require inpatient rehabilitation, they cost 25-50% of the total mental health budget due to the severity and complexity of their problems. Yet, there has been little research to help clinicians and commissioners plan and deliver effective treatments and services. This research aims to address this gap. Research into disabilities including Down syndrome. The outcomes of health checks in primary care for adults with intellectual disability have been used by the National Clinical Director for Learning Disability Dr Dominic Slowie to argue for continuation of funding for the health checks.
