This sees the responsibility for the commissioning of Adult Secure Care services in the region transfer from NHSE Specialised Commissioning to the East Midlands Provider Collaborative – known as IMPACT.
NHS-led Provider Collaboratives are being established across England through a phased programme of transition. IMPACT is one of ten new collaboratives going live on 1 October.
IMPACT brings together the following providers:
- Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (designated lead provider)
- Cygnet Health Care
- Derbyshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
- Elysium Healthcare
- Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
- Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
- Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
- Priory Healthcare
- St Andrew’s Healthcare.
The move to regional Provider Collaboratives sees specialised commissioning, quality assurance and delivery of Adult Secure Services, including Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism, devolved to partnerships of local providers.
Provider Collaboratives are new regional partnerships of organisations that provide specialised mental health services for patients. These partnerships are being established across England as part of a national programme of work.IMPACT is the East Midlands Provider Collaborative and is made up of the nine NHS and independent sector organisations that jointly provide NHS specialised mental health services in the region. Together, we manage low and medium adult secure care services across five counties with a total population of around five million people. We are committed to engaging and working with our clinicians, ward staff, service-users and their families and carers to deliver a new clinical model of care.
As one of these collaboratives, IMPACT is seeking to transform services by streamlining referral and assessment pathways, investing in community services and addressing health inequalities to deliver better quality services for all.
Clinical Lead for IMPACT, Dr Katina Anagnostakis, said: “Harnessing the lived experience of service-users, their families and carers, and our staff is crucial for successful service improvement and re-design.”
“We are already increasing support to patients who are approaching discharge, so they are able to leave secure care confident in living independently with the right community care in place.”
“Feedback from our on-going programme of involvement has directly informed our new clinical model for care and we will continue to listen and respond to those with first-hand experience as we shape future services.”
