2. Overall Aim:- Provide better support in the community, less reliance on secure beds to achieve improved outcomes for service users and their families
How we will achieve this:- Shorter lengths of stay, reduced admissions, improved community infrastructure

3. New Care Models: National Progress
There are 8 wave 1/2 sites for adult secure
All have identified savings through less use of inpatient beds by providers working together
They have each reinvested into community services including step down, intensive community support and adult mental health services such as crisis.
They have introduced new ways of working such as:
Streamlined assessment systems for example through Trusted Assessor
SPA into secure services for a region
Introduced new care pathways

4. Redesign of Services: National Update
NHSE aim to delegate its specialised commissioning functions and budgets for all adult secure services across England by April 2020 (CAMHs & adult ED April 2021)
They are in the process of developing guidance and proposals as to how this will happen during 2019
“Provider Collaboratives” are working together to identify what a new model will look like in their regions. Within this a Lead has to be agreed to take this work forward with NHSE; for the EMs it is Nottingham Healthcare NHS FT
A high level business case will be submitted to NHSE in June that outlines a new clinical model; new partnership for the EMs; financial arrangements and how all of this will be monitored in terms of quality and success.
New contracts will be awarded by December with sites live across some of England by April 2020.

5. New Care Models: East Midlands
We are using this as an opportunity to completely redesign adult secure mental health services in the East Midlands hence we are holding these events to ensure as many people as possible can be involved and provide their views.
The organisations involved are:
NHS Trusts
Independent Sector
Derbyshire Healthcare
Leicestershire Partnership
Lincoln Partnership
Northamptonshire Healthcare
Nottinghamshire Healthcare
Cygnet Healthcare
Elysium Healthcare
Priory Group
St Andrew’s Healthcare

6. What do we want to achieve through the Programme?
Better quality of life and experience for service users and families
More people being effectively supported within community settings with access to educational and employment opportunities
Avoidance of people entering into forensic mental health services without a negative associated impact on other services such as adult mental health
Faster admission into a secure unit if required without any unnecessary delays through streamlined assessment processes on a regional basis.
Less time spent in an inpatient unit ie only when needed
Less people having to go out of area due to lack of availability of secure beds in the EMs
Reinvestment into new and different community services which can be achieved through less use of beds.

7. February Workshop
62 people attended from across the EMs including a number of service users. Cygnet Derby service user group and NHCFT did a presentation about the work they have done around values and what is important to them around this service redesign. The improved admission T&F group did a presentation on the work so far which was discussed in small table groups. The afternoon focused on peer support developments in forensic services. In terms of learning/ issues people took away from this session, the overwhelming response was around peer support ie taking this back into respective organisations and developing the role. A lot of people said they felt enthused around doing more work around service user involvement.

8. You Said…. We Did… Approved assessment process Decision Tree
Referral form
Performance management process & audit
Assertive transitions team
Peer support workers – Blended Pilot
Transitions task & finish group
Fewer assessments to step down security levels/ discharge
Women’s Blended Pilot
Service directory
Regional bed management panel
Too many assessments
Not enough choice
Not enough support
before and after discharge
Need for peer support
You Said:
There are too many assessments to get into secure services
Individual choice as to where people are placed is often not taken into account.
We did:
We are introducing a single “approved assessment” process that negates the current practice of multiple assessments
We have developed a “decision tree” ie a set of principles that are applied by all clinicians when people are placed in a secure bed or move between levels of security. Service user and family choice will be central .
This will be introduced when the new referral form starts being used from 1 June. Decisions around bed allocation will be audited to ensure choice is consistently applied.
There should be more support available to help people well before discharge from secure services and after discharge
Peer support and support workers are needed in forensic services to provide practical advice and assistance including emotional support.
We are developing a new service that will provide support to people up to a year before discharge and help transition in the community; a large part of the staff will be peer support and support workers.
People are often “stuck” in secure services; they don’t know when their discharge date is or what is happening.
We have set up a new task & finish group to look specifically at transitions and a system whereby there will be much more oversight of people when in secure care including a “single point of exit”.
This group is also looking at how we can end repeated assessments when people move between levels of security.
The Women’s blended pilot at St Andrew’s should reduce the times people transition; if successful this can be rolled out across other services.
‘Stuck’ in secure services
Not enough information
