NHS Rotherham CCG : Community Mental Health Lived Experience

Tender description

The NHS Long Term Plan (and implementation framework) outlines that by 2023/24 New and integrated models of primary and community mental health care will give 370,000 adults and older adults with severe mental illnesses greater choice and control over their care and support them to live well in their communities by 2023/24.<br/>The Community Mental Health Framework for adults and older adults identifies the need to reframe the delivery, functions, and commissioning of community mental health services as community-based support, care and treatment. Including enabling people with mental health problems to become active participants in making positive changes rather than passive recipients of disjointed, inconsistent and episodic care. Lot 1: Lived experience is part of a broader recovery agenda which places more emphasis on person-centred outcomes, such as social inclusion and empowerment, rather than traditional clinical outcomes. It is broader than an experience of illness and encompasses an understanding of marginalisation, oppression and discrimination. Underpinning lived experience perspectives include shared understanding of loss or changes to social status/inclusion; relationships; employment and concepts of self. <br/>People with severe mental illness (SMI) face health inequalities and live on average 15 to 20 years less than the general population. They are less likely to have their physical health needs met, including identification of health concerns and appropriate, timely screening and treatment.<br/><br/>This opportunity is available via the Health Family Single e-Commercial System’ (Atamis). <br/><br/>• If you have not already done so you should now register as a Supplier on the shared system. <br/><br/>You can register here: https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome <br/><br/>If you find you do need advice or support in registering please contact the Atamis helpdesk using the following details:<br/><br/>Phone: 0800 9956035<br/>E-mail: support-health@atamis.co.uk
