The Trust is committed to the developing the “Future roles of psychiatrists working with people with an intellectual disability” as outlined in the Faculty Report from the Royal College of Psychiatry. The trust is aiming to provide a tiered approach to psychiatric care, based on a stepped care model with collaborative, multidisciplinary care pathways.
