North Central London Integrated IAPT Evaluation Partner

Tender description

The Haringey CCG are leading the Commissioning of a joint service between Haringey and Islington, aimed at addressing gaps in services meeting the psychological needs of people under primary care / community team support and living with long term conditions (LTC). The service will meet these gaps by providing talking therapies and working in partnership with primary and secondary care health teams, including the local clinical health psychology provision, to develop a service for people with LTC and common mental health problems who do not need highly specialist psychological input. The integrated IAPT service will sit within the two established core IAPT services - iCope in Islington, and Let's Talk in Haringey - but with its own identity and a specific remit of working with people who have DM or COPD. We require an evaluation of the service's effectiveness in improving physical and mental health outcomes and reducing healthcare service use in order to inform decisions about its sustainability.
