Pict Clinical

Berkshire Healthcare has developed a comprehensive care pathway for people who may meet criteria for a diagnosis of Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD). This is an exciting development for patients and staff to ensure that individuals with complex emotional needs are offered equitable, accessible, and evidence-based care, and to transform the way that care is provided. Our Psychologically Informed Consultation and Training Team (PICT) has been established to support the effective delivery of this Pathway, through specialist training, staff consultation, supervision, and co-working. The PICT approach is to work with staff, in teams and/or as individuals, rather than working directly with the individual using services. This approach enhances the experience of people who have complex emotional needs or personality disorder, provides staff with increased confidence and skills, and the benefits achieved are sustainable beyond the PICT input

PICT support colleagues across the Trust, including inpatient services, community teams, and the Out of Area Placements team, as well as those working within Berkshire Primary Care Networks or key partner agencies such as emergency services and the voluntary sector
