The London Pathways Partnership (LPP) brings together five mental health trusts, all of which have a longstanding history and recognised expertise, in delivering effective psychological approaches to complex high risk service users.
The OPD Pathway is a jointly funded partnership between His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS) and NHS England. It is a long-term change programme that commissions treatment and support services nationally for people with ‘personality disorder’, whose complex mental health problems are linked to their harmful offending.
LPP is the largest single health provider of OPD Pathway Services nationally.
LPP jointly delivers services across London community and in prisons in the surrounding areas. These including community offender personality disorder (OPD) services, with consultation provided to 5,000-6,000 cases through the Core Offender Management (CORE-OM) service, 200 receiving direct intervention through our Intensive Intervention and Risk Management services (IIRMS) and 100-150 Involvement and Inclusion cases. In addition, the service assesses an average of 30 Women's Mental Health Treatment Requirement (WMHTR) referrals for court per month and has the capacity to complete approximately 430 WMHTR interventions per year. Our prison OPD services have a total capacity of 249 spaces distributed among several prisons including HMPs Aylesbury, Brixton, High Down, Standford Hill, Swaleside and Thameside.
