#HospitalToCommunity discussion to be led by Kim Adams, Programme Director of #LocalCarePartnerships, @karlrwitty.bsky.social on #AnalogueToDigital - both touching on local examples, and the need to replicate, scale-up, accelerate. Collaboration is key @leedshcp.bsky.social

Notable on the rising needs for #NeuroDiverse #ADHD work to provide better support. Looks like a key area where non-clinical support can make a huge difference to people's wellbeing & health outcomes

Outlining the roles of the #GPConfederation - umbrella membership & service delivery. Currently re-thinking their Voice & Representation role for greater impact. Strong collaboration & partner working - crucial for effective #NeighbourhoodHealth & Healthy Leeds Plan

Good to be at the @forumcentral.bsky.social Third Sector Health & Care Leaders network mtg. The focus today: #NeighbourhoodHealth, starting with a keynote from Dr Jim Barwick from The #GPConfederation to share & discuss GP and primary care challenges, and how we can collectively respond.

Reassuring to see how Leeds partners are aligning this work with national, regional & place direction of travel and strategies: hope this helps evidence the benefits and impacts of this work more meaningfully to support its sustainability #CommunityBased #PersonCentred Reduce #HealthInequalities

My final observation: service transformation is really hard work. Combining the shift to community with co-production that is people-centred is really hard. Doing this in the face of rising need and reducing resources is really hard. But it can be done - well done #TeamLeeds 👏👏👏

These #VCSE orgs are also adept at talent spotting: identifying & supporting service users to become volunteers & even paid staff @leedshcp.bsky.social #OneWorkforce
#AssetBasedDevelopment
and the value of lived experience informing service design & workforce development

Really useful panel discussion, explaining some of the creative approaches to engage the target groups whichever destigmatise #MentalHealth support, enabling better self management and peer support for ongoing community support and continued wellbeing, connecting to other support services
March 27, 2025 at 3:02 PM
#VCSE orgs that will continue to receive funding and the referral
criteria are here. Community of Practice will provide ongoing support, too #TeamLeeds
March 27, 2025 at 2:36 PM
Really important that community & statutory offers and pathways are complementary
March 27, 2025 at 2:27 PM
The programme has helped to demystify the complexity of the Mental Health landscape and the diversity of #VCSE orgs for commissioners and mdt working
March 27, 2025 at 2:26 PM
Rising demand for services with complex needs identifies a strong role for #vcse
March 27, 2025 at 2:23 PM
Recommendations from this mental health transformation programme apply to other health transformation work and service design.

Martin Dean @leedscommfound.bsky.social reflects on the value of robust grantmaking alongside development support for grassroots orgs that unlock the strong capabilities of #VCSE orgs to support complex mental health needs #Sustainability #ValueForMoney @lypftresearch.bsky.social

Learning event for supporting adults with complex #MentalHealth need in our communities starts after some handy networking @forumcentral.bsky.social @leedscommfound.bsky.social @leedshcp.bsky.social #Leeds #TeamLeeds
