Personality disorders – you ask the questions
A question and answer session is being held on Monday 15th March for people interested in finding out more about how services for people with personality disorders are organised.
The session will offer people the opportunity to ask questions about how the NHS provides services for people with mental health problems such as personality disorders. On the panel will be Chief Operating Officer of NHS Birmingham East and North, Andrew Donald, alongside colleagues from Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust.
The session will focus on what are termed ‘tier four services’. These are services specifically for people with personality disorders whose complex needs cannot always be met in the community and may need residential treatment.
If you are interested in finding out more, you are welcome to come along to the question and answer session. Details are below:
Date: Monday 15th March
Time: 6pm to 7pm
Venue: Lakeside Conference Centre, Aston University.
If you would like more information on the event, please contact Patient and Public Involvement Officer Nahida Kausar on 0121 380 0637.

Notes to editors
NHS Birmingham East and North is one of 152 primary care trusts within the English NHS. As a PCT it is responsible for the wise investment of public money to ensure health improvement, access to health services and where appropriate the provision of health services to a local population of some 438,000 people, across 17 wards across north and east Birmingham.
In summary we organise and fund the delivery of health care with the involvement of local people, maximising health outcomes for every pound spent – this is often referred to as commissioning.
