Holding the Hope - Conversations about supporting people with Complex Needs and Personality Disorder

For the first episode of this new podcast series, Elmore welcomes Gill Attwood,  Service Lead for Complex Needs Service and Training and Vocational Initiatives in PD at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, to a discussion about complex needs and personality disorder.

Elmore has recently evaluated our mental health and complex needs floating support services to provide new insights into the nature and extent of complex needs, mental health, and personality disorder in the county.

This podcast also acknowledges the powerful interaction between the third-sector and the NHS, which enables employees at Elmore and across the Oxfordshire Mental Health Partnership to provide outstanding care despite working with constrained resources.

Through the use of a cost-effectiveness analysis, the evaluation has identified that Elmore’s interventions have provided an estimated cost saving to the public purse of £1.9m over five years. This represents an average financial saving of £368K a year.
