New partner for St Andrews Healthcare

St Andrew’s Healthcare, the mental health charity and teaching hospital, has formed a partnership with the Centre for Mental Health, the charity and mental health think-tank. Professor Philip Sugarman, chief exective officer at St Andrew’s says: As a major mental healthcare charity and third sector provider of care to the NHS, we are in a unique position to appreciate the very complex needs of some of society’s most vulnerable people. We are committed to improvement in the quality of mental healthcare in the UK and in the way people access that care. ’Centre for Mental Health has an outstanding reputation for the quality of its policy research and tackles the serious issues that face us. It is widely respected and highly influential and we believe that this partnership will make an important contribution to the public debate that must take place about how we adequately support the recovery of people with mental illness.’
