Generic CMHTs are being increasingly replaced by three separate pathways of care: Inpatients, crisis intervention/home treatment teams, and community teams. The changes are significant, yet little research is being done to evaluate its success. Here, the authors look at whether the advent of this change, termed functionalisation, in Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation NHS Trust has affected staff morale, and compare staff opinion, pre‐ and post‐functionalisation.
