This series of three webinars explores the realities of putting the CMHF into practice, highlighting positive achievements and exploring some challenges with implementation.
The aim was to stimulate open discussions between practitioners, service users / carers / families who experience mental health care provided by the CMHF transformation programme, as well as the commissioners, providers and other stakeholder who wish to create coherent systems that make a difference to a person’s experience of care.

Addressing the Gaps and Looking to the Future - 29 November 2023
Addressing the Gaps and Looking to the Future - 29 November 2023
The CMHF created a great opportunity for major changes to the delivery of mental health services, promoting a more inclusive offer which would help to address the problem of increasing access for many who historically fell into gaps.
This webinar discusses the findings from evaluations and research, examining in depth some of the real-time pressures that busy complex systems face and providing guidance for addressing key challenges:
How might a mental health system increase access and deliver inclusive services within a neighbourhood?
How do different teams work together as a seamless ‘No Wrong Door’ System?
How can people needing mental health support have a good experience as they pass through a system?
How can the workforce deliver this new offer and what support might they need?
What does the collaborative leadership required to lead transformation look like?

Balanced Systems in the Community Mental Health Transformation - 11 March 2024
In this webinar, we considered what a 'balanced system' of mental health provision in the community might look like – one in which inequalities are reduced and the workforce-workload mismatch is addressed. We also looked at what data we might best use to monitor progress towards the balanced system goal.
Presentations include:
The ‘Balanced System’ concept and what we need to measure.
The basics of building a meaningful understanding of your CMHF system.
Accessing the voice of lived experience in complex systems.
How to effectively use your learning.

New models of care for people with severe mental illness - 28 June 2023
This webinar marked the end of McPin's PARTNERS research programme, which focused on developing better ways of supporting people with ongoing mental health needs such as schizophrenia, bipolar or other psychoses within GP practices. The approach is known as collaborative care, and combined recovery-focused coaching with proactive follow-up and integrated primary care, and secondary healthcare liaison. The new role created was called a ‘care partner’.
