There is a huge opportunity to integrate mental health services. They can do this by working together through the Harrow Borough Based Partnership (HBBP). This means working closely with the health system and social care. We want to provide better, more joined-up care for people with mental illness.
The HBBP Mental Health Workstream uses the three pillars:
- Prevention
- Living Well
- Crisis
The plan aims to map the service offer on prevention and recovery. This will guide the creation of a mental health service for all our people outside of hospitals.
A sub-group has been set up to tackle health inequalities in mental health services for black males. It will take a population health approach. There is a greater focus on dementia care. A new sub-group will work on post-diagnostic support for dementia. The group will focus on clinical and social input, and any overlap with frailty.
Harrow and CNWL are developing a new model for mental health services. It will replace the old arrangements provided by CNWL. This is a chance to improve the operating model. It should achieve positive outcomes for our residents.
