Project Description
Personality disorders are conditions in which an individual differs significantly from an average person, in terms of how they think, perceive, feel or relate to others. Changes in how a person feels and distorted beliefs about other people can lead to odd behaviour, which can be distressing and may upset others.
NHS Choices
Utilising knowledge of best practice and both leading & facilitating a working group, a range of options were developed for managing Personality Disorder within an acute environment. This ranged from service specification design for a High Dependency Model, to an operational specification for alternative management strategies.
The overall outcome was to reduce lengths of stay and appropriate management in Personality Disorder.
