Self-harm is common in both adults and children and good quality data on regarding self-harm is required to conduct research informing prevention, early identification and management. A Natural Language Processing (NLP) tool has been developed to extract data on self-harm from free-text in CRIS for a pregnant and postnatal population of patients. The purpose of this project is to adapt and test the existing tool with the aim of using it for other populations including children and young people.

The Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) system is a computer system that allows researchers at the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) to carry out research using information from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust clinical records.
