South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust<br />
<strong>Service</strong> overview<br />
Our service works to ensure that offenders with mental health problems are assessed and<br />
treated effectively, in the least restrictive environment. We aim to manage the risk, reduce<br />
further offending and support recovery throughout the person’s stay.<br />
Our service complies with the national standards set out in<br />
the Department of Health Best Practice Guidance:<br />
Specification for Adult Medium Secure <strong>Service</strong>s. Treatment is<br />
developed collaboratively between our staff and our patients.<br />
King’s Health Partners<br />
Our service is part of the Behavioural and Developmental<br />
Psychiatry Clinical Academic Group. <strong>SLaM</strong> has joined with<br />
King’s College London, Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS<br />
Foundation Trust, and King’s College NHS Foundation Trust<br />
to establish King’s Health Partners, an Academic Health<br />
Sciences Centre. King’s Health Partners involves bringing<br />
clinical care, research and education much more closely<br />
together. Our aim is to reduce the time it takes for research<br />
discoveries and medical breakthroughs to become routine<br />
clinical practice. This will lead to better care and treatment<br />
for patients.<br />
