Hywel Dda Local Health Board Mind the Gap Evidence base largely supports and recommends CBT for many common disorders Effective, accessible, speedy, economic, variety of methods Not for all, however Clinical experience and a less prolific evidence base also suggest the utility of other therapies (dynamic work, CAT, SFT, art) Provides choice of approach – highly meaningful to clients Indicated for specific disorders – for some may need to be intense and lengthy Practice evidence indicates use for long-term and sometimes ill-defined (and profound) distress Applications for team and organisational development Basic, psychologically informed engagement skills also necessary for majority of work force e.g. basic listening and other counselling skills

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Results Huge gap between need and provision On CMHT caseloads: estimated deficits- 29,168 – 37,984 of treatment hours per annum for CBT alone, 5,200-13,000 deficit of treatment hours for people with anxiety\ depression, 21,280 deficit of treatment hours for people with psychosis

Hywel Dda Local Health Board How can we address the gap? Improving access to Psychological Therapies Project launched in 2009 Stage one will be concerned with improving access for people with anxiety and depression

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Aim of the IAPT (depression and anxiety) Project For patients entering our service to receive evidence based psychological therapies delivered by mental health professionals who are competent in their use For our service to be NICE compliant NICE guidelines (2004) Depression and Anxiety( panic disorder with or without agoraphobia and generalised anxiety disorder) To train a sustainable psychologically skilled workforce to provide interventions now and in the future

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Progress so far 8-day CBT training programme designed Curriculum based on the DOH(2007) Report ‘ The competencies required to deliver CBT to people with depression and anxiety’ Aim to train mental health professionals up to Level B status

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Level B definition A practitioner who is able to deliver formulation based or manualised evidence based interventions for specific problems, through regular structured sessions for an agreed time. Requires training in the particular interventions appropriate to the particular diagnosed problem, but will only work under close consultative supervision

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Why CBT? Evidence base largely supports and recommends CBT for most mental health problems Therefore in most cases CBT should be the first psychological intervention that is offered However recognised that it certainly does not work for everyone and other psychological models should continue to be provided and developed

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Who are we training? We are providing the training course in all 3 counties and in all CMHT’S both adult and older adult In some areas ward staff and CRT members have been trained So far 18 mental health professionals have been trained in Llanelli and Pembrokeshire With a further 30 in training in Ceridigion Updates are also being offered to staff who have already done their basic training All professions have been represented amongst the trainees

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Training is not enough ! Past experience nationally and locally tells us that training without appropriate support and supervision is not enough to change practice To address this we have set up supervision groups across the counties. Supervision starts in training and continues thereafter The psychological therapies group has formed a subgroup which manages and monitors the project

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Measuring competencies For trainees we are using the Cognitive Therapy Scale- Revised, which is a validated scale used nationally by all respected Cognitive Therapy training courses Practically trainees submit tape recordings for scrutiny and have to reach a certain standard before being awarded Level B status After initial training continuous professional development is provided and trainees are expected to attend, this programme has started in Llanelli and Pembrokeshire

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Competencies for supervisors All IAPT supervisors have attended training in CBT supervision Supervision group for the supervisors set up About to introduce validated scale to assess competencies of the supervisors- Supervision:adherance& guidance evaluation (SAGE) instrument.

Hywel Dda Local Health Board Will it work? Audit to find out Have we increased access? Were the interventions effective? Were the patients satisfied with the service?

Hywel Dda Local Health Board The future Stage 2 is planned to begin in next few months and will be concerned with increasing access for people with established psychosis Discussions with Learning Disability services to include them in the project Discussion with Swansea University, School of Health Studies to accredit the training Training to become part of induction process for all mental health professionals?
