The framework is based upon:• Clear accountability throughout the organisationensuring we are aware of what is expected of us• Established performance measures <strong>and</strong>indicators that will enable us to assess ourachievement in delivering high quality care <strong>and</strong>our overall strategic aims• The provision of appropriate information toenable reviews of local <strong>and</strong> organisationalperformance <strong>and</strong> on-going decision making.The Board of Directors receives a range of performancedata <strong>and</strong> information within a planned reportingframework to ensure monitoring <strong>and</strong> evaluationof progress <strong>and</strong> outcomes is undertaken <strong>and</strong>improvement interventions are directed when required.2.14 Significant changes we havemade to existing services <strong>and</strong> newservices we are providingDetailed information regarding the range <strong>and</strong> scopeof the changes we have introduced to improve <strong>and</strong>develop our services is outlined in section 2.4 ofthis report. At an organisation-wide level, the moresignificant changes that have been made to ourservices are summarised as follows:• We began building our new community centre tosupport people with learning disabilities who alsohave challenging behaviours. We have investedover £3 million in a new centre at Roewood tosupport the delivery of integrated care, support<strong>and</strong> treatment. This new service will integrateour community <strong>and</strong> inpatient teams so that care<strong>and</strong> support can be provided seamlessly acrosscommunity <strong>and</strong> residential settings. We are excited<strong>and</strong> proud of this long overdue development.The st<strong>and</strong>ard of the care we have provided at ourprevious service, the ATU, has been recognised bythe CQC as being of a very high st<strong>and</strong>ard, but in apoor quality environment. We look forward to ournew purpose-built facility supporting the service todeliver even better support in the future• We changed the way we provide our CMHTservices. Following consultation in 2011/12 wecombined our different teams into an integratedservice. We now have four teams, each coveringa different area of <strong>Sheffield</strong>. Each team providesfor new assessments, liaison <strong>and</strong> consultationwith primary care <strong>and</strong> short term interventions,crisis support <strong>and</strong> home treatment <strong>and</strong> ongoingrecovery support <strong>and</strong> treatment whereneeded. These changes were introduced overthe summer <strong>and</strong> autumn of 2012 <strong>and</strong> earlyevaluation of the impact has been positive• Towards the end of 2011/12 we combined ourpreviously separate day hospitals <strong>and</strong> dischargesupport teams for older adults into an integratedcrisis <strong>and</strong> home treatment support team. Thistype of support was available for working agedadults but not older adults within <strong>Sheffield</strong>.The new service fully started from April 2012onwards. The purpose of the service is to providecommunity based intensive support for people ina crisis as an alternative to hospital admission• As part of a national pilot our IAPT serviceshave been identified as one of seven Pathfindersites in the country. The pilot has aimed toexplore how best to support people with longterm physical health problems, <strong>and</strong> people withmedically unexplained symptoms through betteraccess to psychological therapies. The formalevaluation of the full pilot will not concludeuntil next year. Initial <strong>and</strong> emerging resultsfrom the pilot indicate that this developmenthas had a real <strong>and</strong> significant impact on thelives of people in <strong>Sheffield</strong>• Under the <strong>Sheffield</strong>-wide developmentprogramme, Right First Time, we have pilotednew services into <strong>Sheffield</strong> Teaching HospitalsNHS Foundation Trust. These services havelooked to exp<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> support the provisionof advice, assessment <strong>and</strong> after care providedto older people with mental health problems,particularly dementia, who have been admittedfor general hospital care• We have developed a new service throughour SPACES service. The Recovery EducationProgramme (REP) is a short-term intensiveeducation programme designed to help peopleget back on track as part of their mental healthrecovery. The programme deals with a widerange of issues focussing on the challenges thatoften block a person’s recovery. This approach ispart of our overall recovery agenda, to promote<strong>and</strong> develop ways in which we can help peopleto better equip themselves to develop their ownplans to achieve their own goals• Following an engagement <strong>and</strong> consultationprogramme led by the Council, we implementedour plan to provide better quality <strong>and</strong> intensiverespite support for people who experienceemergencies with their support arrangements.Our plans aim to support people to stay athome rather than being admitted to hospital ora care home. We aim to deliver this through asmaller but higher quality respite service, <strong>and</strong>by supporting more people than at present withindividual care packages that are focussed onsocial <strong>and</strong> community engagement, deliveringrespite support in a non-residential way. Partof this plan has brought together servicespreviously provided by the Norbury <strong>and</strong> HurlfieldView resource centres, <strong>and</strong> as a result Norburywas closed in March 2013.2.15 How we work with our partnersWe work in partnership with the organisations thatcommission our services, namely NHS <strong>Sheffield</strong>,the emerging Clinical Commissioning Group<strong>and</strong> <strong>Sheffield</strong> City Council. This allows us tounderst<strong>and</strong> the health <strong>and</strong> social care needs in thewider population, to influence the commissioningapproach taken <strong>and</strong> to develop new services for thebenefit of the people of <strong>Sheffield</strong>.We work in partnership with a diverse groupof interested parties across the public <strong>and</strong> thirdsector, voluntary <strong>and</strong> local community groups. Thisallows us to develop better relationships with otherorganisations who support people in <strong>Sheffield</strong> <strong>and</strong>fosters better collaborative working between us.We use these opportunities to promote the needs<strong>and</strong> interests of the people that we serve <strong>and</strong>to reduce some of the barriers people can oftenexperience in accessing the services that they need.We also provide a number of services in partnershipwith other organisations.2.15.1 Delivering integrated health<strong>and</strong> social careWe have a formal partnership agreement with<strong>Sheffield</strong> City Council to deliver integrated mentalhealth services across health <strong>and</strong> social care forworking aged adults (people aged between 18 – 65years of age). Under this partnership, <strong>Sheffield</strong> CityCouncil has formally delegated to us its statutoryresponsibilities for the provision of services coveredby the partnership agreement. This partnershiphas been in place for over 10 years <strong>and</strong> has beeninstrumental in allowing us to develop <strong>and</strong> providethe services that we deliver. The people who use ourservices have benefited from our ability to develop<strong>and</strong> deliver genuine integrated models of servicesthat provide seamless care pathways across health<strong>and</strong> social care.Through our partnership arrangements with <strong>Sheffield</strong>City Council, we also deliver integrated services forpeople with learning disabilities. Together we haveestablished a single joint service model across health<strong>and</strong> social care.During this year we entered into a new partnershipwith Rethink, for the delivery of a Crisis Houseservice in <strong>Sheffield</strong>.
