Health and social work services

Tender description

It is expected that this service for primary care talking therapies will incorporate individual short-term outcome focused interventions including Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and other psychological therapies to include Inter-personal therapy (IPT), integrative therapy, short-term psychodynamic psychotherapy, life coaching and other interventions recognised in line with Nice Clinical Guidance 123. It is intended that service users will be those who are registered with BHSCT GP practices and who have presented to their GP with a common mental health disorder as defined by NICE Clinical Guidance 123. The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT) is proposing to establish a dynamic framework agreement with multiple providers, to deliver primary care talking therapies to service users in the BHSCT area.
