The West Midlands Mental Health Clinical Network in NHS England is exploring how it can support the Liaison Psychiatry Mental Health Services within the wider Mental Health Trusts across the West Midlands footprint in relation to the Core 24 standards.

As a consequence, would you like to have a place where you can share ideas, experiences and best practices for everyday challenges, with other colleagues working in Liaison Psychiatry? The West Midlands Mental Health Clinical Network is planning to have a Liaison Psychiatry Mental Health Service Improvement Network. We would like to invite senior clinicians from all professional backgrounds, service leaders, managers and analysts working with or in Liaison Psychiatry Mental Health across the West Midlands to join this wider forum.

Should you wish further information regarding the Liaison Psychiatry Mental Health Service Improvement Network, please contact Karen Edwards, Network Quality Improvement Officer (Mental Health) by email using karen.edwards14@nhs.net
