In 2014 NHS England laid down an ambitious vision[1] to put health care for people with mental health problems on an equal footing with care for people with physical health problems. People of all ages and from all groups should receive the equivalent level of timely, evidence-based, clinically effective, recovery focused, safe and personalised care as people with a physical health condition.
In this IAPT webinar, a number of key themes and issues will be discussed in order to reflect on progress toward the 2020 vision:
- Integrated approaches between physical health and mental health in IAPT is still under-developed. For example, the overlap between MSK and mental health has been largely ignored in the past (31% of people with MSK pain have moderate or severe depression). There needs to be an integrated approach that treats the whole person, not the body parts.
- Longstanding disparities exist in mental health support for BAME individuals. Work needs to be done to address poor experiences and mistrust, and tackle inequities in access and recovery rates within the BAME population.
- Indirect COVID-generated demand on mental health services will be significant – based on socioeconomic impact such as poverty, unemployment and isolation, which will be sustained for the next year at least. The risk of health and social care staff burnout could deliver a ‘double whammy’ for NHS.
- COVID has offered the opportunity to transform services and this should now be used to challenge a lack of innovation and rigidity in the IAPT model.
Speakers include senior experts from all spectrums spanning, primary, secondary, community care and patient voice.
