Abstract
Forensic mental health services in high income countries are typically high cost and low volume, providing care to people with mental illness, personality disorders, learning disability and autism deemed to pose a risk to others. Research into how forensic mental health services work as a whole system is limited. Such research is urgently needed to guide policy makers and ensure that services operate effectively.
Highlights
The process has already been effectively used to commission research in one priority area, namely evaluating access assessments to low and medium secure services
Commissioning organisations offer one potential route to deliver this by linking experts by experience, clinicians, policy makers and commissioners
Forensic mental health services provide care and treatment for people with mental illness, personality disorders, learning disability and autism who are deemed to pose a risk to others.[1]
