Modern Mental Health Centres

I did some research on mental health centres and discovered the institute of mental health in Nottingham.
I read the about us page on their "centre of health & Justice" which is much like the institute that "A Handbag" is set in.

The brief description reads as follows;

"The Centre for Health and Justice, led by Professor Eddie Kane, is a major national development in the understanding of and provision for mentally disordered offenders.
The Centre brings together research, policy and practice in the fields of mental and general health care and criminal justice, through an innovative multi-disciplinary approach. It carries out clinically focused and practically designed research to provide the evidence base to build a new generation of services. Chair of the new Centre’s Advisory Board is Lord David Ramsbotham, formerly HM Chief Inspector of Prisons."

I also took time to read the information brochure pdf which contains a lot of information about how they operate.

"the centre seeks to discover the best ways to deliver healthcare in the justice environment and secure health settings. It will bring together research, policy, and practice in the fields of mental and general health care and criminal justice, through an innovative multi-disciplinary approach. It will carry out clinically focused and practically designed research to provide the evidence base to build a new generation of services. The centre will support education and training programmes (such as the Knowledge and Understanding Framework for people with personality disorders) that appeal to a multidisciplinary audience, bringing agencies together from across health and criminal justice. The Centre for Health and Justice’s key partnerships:
• Institute of Mental Health (i.e. Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust and the University of Nottingham);
• Frontline justice, police, probation, and NHS staff; 
• Commercial/independent providers;
• Criminal justice programme from the Centre for Mental Health;
• Policy makers and senior politicians in health and justice;
• Colleagues from the UK and international clinical, academic, and policy networks and other universities."
