The world’s first anti-psychotic patch for people with disorders such as schizophrenia is being trialled by a mental health trust.

Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s research and development team is working with Richmond Pharmacology, a clinical research organisation, to investigate the use of a patch which releases the medication asenapine through the skin into the bloodstream.

This is an alternative non-invasive method of treatment to taking tablets or receiving injections.
