A Message from the Director
All Change at the Centre
As I indicated in the last newsletter, we are living in time of change and focusing
investment on frontline services. As part of these changes, within the Department of
Health, most of the areas of work funded by “programme monies” will be seriously
reduced or come to an end on 31st March 2011. This covers among other areas,
the National Mental Health Development Unit (NMHDU) including the SHIFT
programme, Valuing People Now, the Personalisation programme and the areas of
work that concerned older people and dementia . This does not mean that no
further work in these areas will be undertaken in the Department of Health, but it
does mean that those areas that supported implementation of policy will no longer
do so and the focus will be on policy development. The respective websites are
expected to be there for some time to come. Although not regularly maintained or
updated, they will be available to download the resources currently available.
Should you have any difficulty in accessing them, many of their resources will
continue to be available through our own website.

Personalisation and Mental Health

Celebrating Progress across the West Country
A Conference held in Bristol on February 15th
SWDC organised a very successful conference to share some of the progress in implementing
personalisation within mental health services across the region. Over 80 delegates contributed to the day
with lively discussion throughout. The day acknowledged the considerable obstacles and difficulties that
people had experienced in moving things forward, but focussed on a series of success stories and
evidence of how people using services had benefitted from the approach. From the feedback received
91% of those who attended felt the conference was excellent/very good with 94% reporting it had
completely or fairly well met their key objectives in attending. The relevance of the topics discussed was
rated by 89% as good or excellent with 91% saying the same about the presenters.
The morning saw a presentation of the success of a direct payments take up initiative in Exeter. This was
followed by challenging presentations from national leads Kevin Lewis and Robin Murray Neill. Both spoke
passionately of the ideology behind the personalisation agenda and gave many examples of the difference
it had made. Pam Richards and Mike Murkin reported on progress across the west country and there was
time for questions from the floor. The afternoon saw a number of short, snappy presentations. Torbay
reported on personalisation and dementia and their experience as a personal health budget pilot site and
Exeter PHEW Centre shared their experience of mentoring for direct payments. Dorset Community
Resource Team shared their work on accessing universal services, in particular employment. The
presentations ended with a commissioner and provider perspective from Bristol on how to make service
changes.
Delegates did work in groups sharing local success stories, looking at obstacles and sharing keys to
success. Group feedback and copies of the PowerPoint presentations given are available on the SWDC
website:

Innovation & Collaboration in Challenging Times
Holiday Inn, Plymouth
Last year we were eager to learn about ‘New Horizons’ but so much has happened since then; a new coalition
government, changed thinking and emphasis, a total shake up of the health service as we know it, small community
agencies closing down with funding cuts, jobs under threat and changes expected to the New Horizons strategy
introduced a year ago. However, we know the thrust remains around collaboration and innovation so we have
focussed our theme for this conference on these two activities, looking at them from a local, national and
international perspective.

Innovation in Healthcare: Improving Care, Driving Efficiency
The Barbican, London
Healthcare in the UK is constantly evolving. As new technologies and processes are introduced into the NHS, patient
outcomes improve, which result in better quality of healthcare. However, technology is only one part of the
'innovation pathway' – organisational innovation and service re-design also have a major role in improving patient
care. Lean methodologies are increasingly being adopted into the NHS, boosting efficiency and productivity. A recent
review by the Foundation Trust Network claims that the NHS can make £600m worth of back office savings through
sharing services, reducing waste and making the best use of resources for the benefit of patients and the taxpayer.
At this event a programme of key speakers will consider the role of innovation in improving patient outcomes, and its
place in the new NHS. It will look at innovation in areas such as medical technology as well as procedural
developments and strategies, offering an ideal forum for discussion on how to maintain a sustainable healthcare
system in the face of vastly increasing demand.
