The Trust’s Research and Development team, in partnership with the Mental Health Mission Midlands Translational Centre, has launched a new Complex Schizophrenia (CS) clinic. This specialist service supports people living with treatment resistant schizophrenia who have not responded to, or cannot tolerate, standard treatments.

The clinic provides expert assessment and evidence-based recommendations to improve access to effective care, including the appropriate use of clozapine, while reducing reliance on less effective approaches. It will also support clinical teams with complex decision-making and offer opportunities for research participation.

Operating as a consultative service, the clinic works closely with teams across the Trust to enhance outcomes and improve quality of life for service users with complex needs.
