The Evaluation of London’s New Model of Care: The Pan-London s136 Pathway and Health Based Place of Safety Specification for Healthy London Partnership

Tender description

The crisis care work stream within London’s UEC programme was established in July 2015 to support the system in improving the quality and accessibility of crisis care across London. Following an extensive engagement period it was agreed to have a pan-London focus on the section 136 pathway and Health Based Place of Safety sites to improve current inconsistencies and variation across London. Objectives The key objectives of the evaluation are to: • Evaluate the impact of implementing the new s136 pathway and HBPoS specification across all areas of London. Demonstrating this against the new model of care objectives and service user ‘I statements’, outlined in appendix 1 and 2, and including consideration of any economic impact. • Provide evidence to support further implementation across the system and maintain continued support from stakeholders, ensuring sustainability of the new model. • Identify any unintended consequences on the s136 pathway, or the wider healthcare system, and understand where approaches may need to be adapted. • Evaluate the programme processes, including critical success factors, challenges and lessons learnt. • Demonstrate the impact of large scale pan-London transformation programmes on London’s health and care system and share learning and evidence to inform other pan-London transformation programmes. The estimated contract value is £50,000 – £75,000. Keywords: Evaluation, Healthy London Partnership, Pan-London, Mental Health, London’s New Model of Care, Pathway
