The programme will focus on improving patient safety for those who use inpatient mental health and learning disability services, including staff in health care settings.
The MH-SIP is designed to support teams to deliver safer services for all, using a systematic approach to how they improve. A key component of our approach is that people delivering care and their patients consider the problem and co-design the changes.
A range of evidence-based change ideas are being developed and tested in practice by the National Collaborative Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH) and the local Patient Safety Collaborative (PSC) work will build on this, supporting teams and service users across the Eastern region to test the changes most relevant to them.
To improve safety and outcomes of mental healthcare, by reducing unwarranted variation and providing a high-quality healthcare experience for all the people across the system by March 2024.
