The coroner’s concerns
1) There was a lack of understanding between the Acute Trust clinicians and the Mental Health Trust as to the role of the Mental Health Liaison Team. Clarity is required as to whether the MHLT when asked to review a patient by the acute clinicians are reviewing so as to (i) make a diagnosis of an eating disorder or (ii) assess and assist in the consideration as to whether the Mental Health Act can be used to treat someone if they are refusing treatment. 2) There was a lack of understanding as to the pathways available to the acute clinicians for making a referral / seeking advice from the Specialist Eating Disorder Service ie the Willows.
