Notice Information

Notice Title

Improving Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) services for NHS Nottingham & Nottinghamshire

Notice Description

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS AGEM CSU) on behalf of NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB are inviting suitably qualified providers to deliver Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services for the population of NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. With the exit of our local NHS provider from the provision of IAPT services, commissioners will be looking for a single solution for the future provision across the newly formed ICB patch for a period of 5 years. That single solution may be a single provider option, a lead provider or a collaboration which needs to deliver services in line with National guidance as the IAPT programme remains high on the political agenda with ICBs being performance managed on access and recovery targets at regional and national level. Aims of the service * To ensure a local focus, as well as meeting the needs of the local population including ethnic minority communities, older adults, and students. * Services will be easy to access with few points of escalation * Focus on prevention and early identification, targeting interventions at risk groups. * To integrate psychological therapies into physical health and long-term condition pathways. * To provide a perinatal pathway for patients under the care of midwives and health visitors * Services will be personalised and outcome focussed recognising the service users own strengths, needs, life experiences, beliefs, aspirations and support networks. * Patients will be supported back to self-management and independence, wherever possible. * The service will actively integrate with partners at system, place and neighbourhood level, delivering care in a range of settings and modes including Locality Hubs, GP Practices, health centres, community venues and the patient's own home, both face to face and via online mechanisms and telephone. Care location and mode will be based on the needs of the patient and available service offer. * To make best use of available technology and digital options for service promotion, referral pathways and delivery of interventions.
