held in Leeds 10th & London 21st June 2010.
Event
& Workshop Evaluation Summary and Presentation Slides
158
people attended the two workshops in London and Leeds. Representation came from 7 out of the
10 SHA's, 66 of the 151 PCT's, 22 Local Authorities, 13 of which had joint
commissioning posts and a small number of people from provider Trusts and other
establishments. People evaluated
the day as being useful and the quality of the speakers and workshop was strong
reflected in the high percentage of good or above ratings: 76% for the morning
speakers and 88% for the afternoon workshop.
Delegates
most appreciated the time to network and hear the different perspectives of
provider, commissioner and particularly the local authority. The discussion on the morning and
afternoon session on what PbR will be like for mental health scored high and how
it links with personalisation. However, consistent feedback was that people
wanted more detail on the how and reassurance that lessons from the national
pilots and the acute PbR implementation will be applied.
Delegates
could readily identify the opportunities that they saw PbR gave for mental
health and overall felt that these should bring improvements in driving up
quality for commissioning; the strongest opportunity being seen as the increase
in information that will become available and standardisation of language and
measurement of outcomes that will allow a better basis for benchmarking and
moving towards personalisation.
The outputs from the afternoon workshop sessions on opportunities,
challenges and future support required and the ideas written on the evaluation
forms for future support are being reviewed and actions will be posted on the
website when available.
There
were many requests for access to regular briefings and the Department of
Healths Mental Health PbR project papers these can all be found on the
