Future of Mental Health in Health and Care
Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust shares insight into how the use of text messaging in mental health crisis services has been brought to scale. The pioneering ChatHealth is now in use across 80 NHS trusts and healthcare providers with 83% of users saying that the conversation helped them. Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust explore if extended reality (XR) technology can transform our approach to mental health to help services that are under strain and support those with more complex needs? South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) previously relied on outdated paper-based prescribing processes, including hand-written notes and prescriptions. The trust, which provides the widest range of mental health services in the UK, embarked on a transformative journey to implement the Better Meds ePMA solution across its hospitals and community settings and share their lessons learnt.
