Like all other health trusts we need to
show that we are delivering high quality care to the people who use
our services in a way that gives real value for money. We also want
to ensure that recovery underpins all that we do.
The vast majority of the adults that we
care for remain in the community, supported by our dedicated
Community Mental Health Teams (CMHTs). The CMHTs work in
conjunction with people to enable them to continue managing their
mental health in their own homes, perhaps with additional support
from our outpatient, day services or other teams.
We are currently reviewing the
Community Mental Health Teams for adults (people aged under 65)
to make sure that wherever someone lives in the city they are
able to easily access the Trust services that will best meet
their needs.
For more details of how we plan
to provide community services in the future please
see the engagement document
here. To give your views on the review please fill in

December 2011 update
From the start of the review we have been committed to keeping
you up to date with our progress and with this in mind we have
produced a leaflet to let you know exactly where we are up to.
The leaflet also includes issues raised at the meetings we have
held. It is available
here.
