As an organisation we are committed to knowledge sharing as the key driver to service improvement.
We have set protocols in place to ensure an effective flow of information across all our teams.
We are also regularly asked to present and share our own findings with our clinical colleagues in the mental health arena, as well as being asked to provide articles and advice in publications aimed at the general public. You can read some of our most recent presentations and articles below.
