The Birmingham Mental Health Trust is a National Health Service (NHS) trust that provides mental health services to the city of Birmingham. Established in 2003, the trust has a budget of over £200 million and employs over 4,000 staff. The trust offers a range of services, including inpatient and community-based care, crisis resolution, and home treatment. According to the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the trust has a 'good' overall rating, with 85% of patients reporting that they were treated with dignity and respect.
