Sharing Positive Practice

We are dedicated to providing a directory of Positive Practice in MH Services.

Having carried out our first service user focused assessment of a mental health service well over 20 years ago, and having been identifying and sharing positive practice for almost as long, we came to the conclusion many years ago that there is a ‘perfect mental health service’ out there, ‘it’s just not all in one place’. By developing this directory we intend to demonstrate our theory.

We are also featuring positive practice examples featured in the pathways developed for NHS England by our partners, the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health.

The services are divided into sections, and we have now incorporated an archive section for those services that have not been updated in the last year, but may still be of use to those reading. We also have a specific Safety Improvement category.

Entries on this guide have more the doubled in the last year.

IF YOU ARE A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL WISHING TO REFER TO A SERVICE ON THIS DIRECTORY, PLEASE CONTACT THE SERVICE VIA THE DETAILS ON THEIR ENTRY.
