The National Psychosis Service (NPS) is a clinical-academic tertiary
service offering innovative individualised evidence-based
multidisciplinary strategies to help those people with complex psychosis,
including schizo-affective disorder, where standard treatment guidelines have proven ineffective or have not
been tolerated. The service aims to enhance quality of life through
tailored treatments and promotion of recovery thus reducing the need for
high intensity placements and the risk of readmission.
Internationally renowned expertise in resistant psychosis is
provided by a team of dedicated clinicians offering comprehensive
medical reviews alongside innovative, bespoke treatment approaches.
Themes include complex co-morbid physical health conditions which
directly affect psychiatric treatment options; clozapine re-challenge
after a significant adverse reaction; clozapine non-response.
Our specialist service is supported through established
partnerships with the academic Departments of Psychosis Studies and
Psychology based within the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and
Neuroscience, King’s College London. We also liaise with clinical
experts within other specialties across King’s College London and
King’s Health Partners. The National Psychosis team is closely linked
to the Maudsley Pharmacy and the other national specialist mental
health services.
The service aims to enhance quality of life through collaborative
working towards recovery. We regularly audit and publish our service
outcomes and receive excellent feedback from our patients and their
families. Benefits include reduction in psychosis, less frequent
episodes of illness, improved social functioning, better understanding
of the illness by the patient and carers and enhanced engagement with
physical and mental health care plans. We have published evidence that
admissions result in reduced morbidity, fewer days spent in hospital,
lower antipsychotic doses, substantial reductions in the risk of
readmission or high intensity placements and less expensive long-term costs.
As our patients may be a long way from home, we aim to make
admissions as short as possible and communicate regularly with carers,
the referring team and CCGs or CSUs to plan care and facilitate timely
discharge.

GPs, consultants, health professionals, referrers, commissioners and
members of the public can find comprehensive information about this
national service here:

Overview
The purpose of our service is to ensure that mentally disordered
offenders are assessed and treated effectively, in the least restrictive
environment. We aim to manage the risk, reduce further offending and
support recovery throughout the person's stay.
Our service is designed to support people on a pathway to recovery
through a series of carefully managed stages. Each of the ward areas are
associated with a specific stage, so that those people who have
responded well to treatment and are close to being discharged will
becared for in a different area than those who are acutely unwell, and
at the beginning of their journey. Where our admissions and intensive
care ward offers enhanced physical and procedural security, our
pre-discharge unit offers a high level of independence with a lower
level of security, increased access to community programmes, and
community outreach services fostering the development of living skills,
before moving to independent settings in the community. We also offer
time limited inpatient stays and community assessments.
Our service complies with the national standards set out in the
Department of Health Best Practice Guidance: Specification for Adult
Medium Secure Services (July 2007).
