“While many officers demonstrate strong communication and risk assessment skills, we found wide variation in how mental health-related calls are identified and managed. Access to specialist advice, such as mental health triage teams, differs from one area to another, leaving officers uncertain about whether to treat behaviour as a criminal issue or a symptom of illness.”

What Prof Elizabeth Hughes has said

  • “We should be doing all we can within research and development to advance healthcare for women and to better help future generations with this condition.”
