Phase 1 

PDIP Phase 1 was launched in 2022 with an overall aim to better understand the current picture of service provision for people with a diagnosis of personality disorder. This was to help identify the key opportunities for improvement and to then develop proposals to deliver those improvements. 

The project engaged with key stakeholders from health, social care, the third sector and people with lived experience and delivered a Scottish personality disorder learning system.  

The key findings from Phase 1 of the programme can be found below: 

  • phase 1 report 
  • summarised Phase 1 report, and
  • companion report.

Phase 2 

The first phase report for Personality Disorder Improvement Programme (PDIP) showed that improvement was essential and that those who struggle with the symptoms of personality disorder required more support and better care. The end of phase report recommended the development of a data measurement framework for services, the need for a toolkit to support service improvements and work with a two NHS boards with diverse socio-geographic backgrounds – such as urban, rural and mixed areas – to design and implement practical improvements to pathways.  

Phase 2 is now underway, and we aim to share more with you as the programme develops.
