Most mental health social work services are integrated, in some way, with their local Mental Health NHS Trust and Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs).
Useful for commissioners and senior managers in local authorities and CCGs, and team managers working to implement partnership working.
The level and nature of the partnerships may vary across each region, but mental health has been one of the most integrated parts of health and social care for many areas.
The nature of these partnerships is changing, as health and social care services work to overcome the challenges of austerity and engage with people in a more personalised way. This webpage shares best practice guidance and case studies about what works well, to help you to develop and improve integrated partnerships within your local Sustainable Transformation Partnerships (STPs) and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs).
