To understand what MPFT Digital means to our service users and our staff, we asked a simple question; “what exactly does digital mean to our care delivery?”.

The MPFT Digital Strategy aims to ensure the answers to this question are a reality for our service users and staff.

Quotes from our service users

“There is a lot more scope using MS Teams in every area of Doctor's or Consultants appointments”

Service User of MPFT

“Digital to me, means that, if I need re-referral, I know I’ve got help and support straight away. From experience, this has helped me with early intervention, giving me refreshers on the strategies that help me. In my opinion this has helped prevent me from relapse in the long run”. 

Service User of MPFT
