Can you put recovery at the heart of your services?
Having developed a framework by which organisations might become more recovery-orientated, Centre for Mental Health, in partnership with NMHDU and the NHS Confederation, is now looking for demonstration sites to help put it into practice.
The project
We aim to field test the methodology for organisational change in 6 demonstration sites and help them to improve the quality of their local services to support people more effectively to lead meaningful and productive lives. This project provides an opportunity to demonstrate an innovative approach to quality improvement and cultural change across organisations. It is expected to run until 2011/12.
What we are offering
Each organisation will receive an individually-tailored support package of expert consultancy, access to specialist, user-led training programmes and materials, and participation in a learning network. This will enable organisations to put a truly person-centred approach at the heart of service delivery with the aim of improving service user outcomes and satisfaction levels with service provision.
The project team of Jed Boardman, Rachel Perkins (South West London and St George's NHS Trust) and Geoff Shepherd will provide direct consultancy and advice on target setting and implementation to individual sites. Julie Repper from the University of Nottingham will provide specific help with training of service users and staff.
