Description

North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) are working for and on behalf of NHS South Tees Clinical Commissioning Group (STEES CCG) propose to commission a Mental Health Primary Care service covering the whole of the STEES CCG locality.

The service will be available to all patients registered with a GP in the South Tees CCG area and also to all residents in the Redcar & Cleveland and Middlesbrough council areas who may be registered with a GP in another CCG area.
The service will be operational 10-8; 6 days a week (likely to be Monday - Saturday) although not all aspects of the service need to be delivered all the time; service provision should be responsive to demand.
Key deliverables will be:
• Pro-active promotion and engagement and will ensure that the service is reaching the community where the need is greatest.
• Support to identify and achieve their individual recovery goals using monitoring tools to map and identify progress towards recovery.
• Commitment to developing a structured peer support approach by developing individuals into this role as much as possible.
• Service delivery from appropriately qualified staff with the relevant skills and experience and, where appropriate, people with lived experience of mental health problems in either an employment or voluntary arrangement.
• Will be required to facilitate the delivery of (and directly deliver where appropriate) courses as per the Recovery College model
• To be organised and delivered in a way to maximise patient involvement and continued participation until the point of jointly agreed recovery.

The CCG is approaching the market to develop a robust service specification and as such are holding 1 to 1 market engagement meetings on the 23rd May 2016.
