Elaine Fehrman (BSc (Hons), BA DipSW, MSc, MBPsS) is employed as an HCPC-registered Advanced Practitioner at Rampton Hospital, which is one of three high secure hospitals in England and Wales. She is the substance misuse treatment clinical lead for the National High Secure Healthcare Service for Women at Rampton Hospital, and has several years of clinical practice experience working with offenders with mental health problems in low, medium, and high security hospitals, in the community, and in prison. She has a keen interest in improving the recovery and treatment outcomes for patients. Elaine is currently completing her Doctorate in Forensic Psychology, and is undertaking research to investigate the psychological sequelae of trauma in high risk mentally disordered offenders with substance misuse issues, and to determine if gender differences exist. The research will have important implications for informing treatment interventions at Rampton Hospital with this cohort with interrelated mental health issues.
