The Advancing Quality Alliance (AQuA) is currently carrying out a scoping exercise with a view to developing a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) improvement programme for the North West.
Improving children and young people’s mental health outcomes by 2020 has been highlighted as a national priority for health and care.
In 2015, the Department of Health’s Children and Young People’s Mental Health & Wellbeing taskforce also highlighted the need for high-quality and accessible CAMHS services in their report Future in Mind.
In keeping with this agenda, AQuA will look to establish whether a three-year AQuA CAMHS improvement programme is needed for the North West, how this might be delivered, and the possible content of the programme.
Paul Greenwood, Mental Health Improvement Advisor for AQuA, said:
“Through this scoping exercise we’re really pleased to be exploring CAMHS support in more detail, and hope to gather some great insights and ideas from our members and partners across the North West.
“We want to establish whether there is a need for a dedicated improvement programme across the region, and how we might be able to support members in the improvement of their services.
“Over the coming months, our CAMHS Affiliate Sue Hooton will be meeting a range of colleagues, and we’ll also be hosting a series of webinars for them to find out more about this work and share their ideas.”
Scoping Webinar Sessions
We are also looking for members and partners to join us on two upcoming webinars, to learn more about this work and to share ideas on where improvement efforts would be most effective.
These are open to senior leaders, managers or frontline staff working across CAMHS services, including across health and social care providers, commissioners and third sector organisations.
Sessions will take place on the dates below. To book your place, please follow the links to the booking page:
As part of the review, we will also be hosting an exciting Hackathon event in late September, as an innovative session to help generate ideas to support this work. Further details of this event will be announced in the coming weeks.
