Elmore launches new podcast about complex needs and personality disorder

Elmore has launched a new podcast series called ‘Holding the Hope’ to increase understanding about complex needs, mental health, and personality disorder, and the Elmore model for supporting local people.

For the first episode of this new podcast series, Elmore has welcomed Gill Attwood, Service Lead for Complex Needs Service and Training and Vocational Initiatives in PD at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, to a discussion about complex needs and personality disorder. For the second episode, Charlotte Dawson and Adrian Childs, two Elmore Service Managers who support complex needs, mental health, and personality disorder teams, have joined the podcast to talk about Elmore’s model of supporting people across Oxfordshire.

Elmore has recently evaluated our mental health and complex needs floating support services to provide new insights into the nature and extent of complex needs, mental health, and personality disorder in the county. Through the use of a cost-effectiveness analysis, the evaluation has also identified that Elmore’s interventions have provided an estimated cost saving to the public purse of £1.9m over five years. This represents an average financial saving of £368K a year.

Elmore delivers the mental health and complex needs floating support services as part of the Oxfordshire Mental Health Partnership. (OMHP). Elmore is a founding member of the OMHP.
