Dudley and Walsall Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust was set up in October 2008. It provides mental health services across Dudley and Walsall, West Midlands, England. It runs Dorothy Pattison Hospital and Bloxwich Hospital in Walsall, and Bushey Fields Hospital in Dudley.
In December 2013, it was announced that the Trust would be among the first to trial the Care Quality Commission’s planned approach to inspecting mental health services because Monitor and the NHS Trust Development Authority wanted assurance on the quality of the services they provide before progressing their Foundation Trust applications.
The Trust, together with Black Country Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, has set up a Liaison and Diversion service. The intention is that, "When someone in a police station, or involved in court proceedings, has a mental health problem or other vulnerabilities, they are referred to the right services and are given support and guidance based on their needs."
It was named by the Health Service Journal as one of the top hundred NHS trusts to work for in 2015. At that time it had 948 full-time equivalent staff and a sickness absence rate of 5.4 per cent. 62 per cent of staff recommend it as a place for treatment and 54 per cent recommended it as a place to work.
