Community mental health transformation workstreams
As part of our initial work for community mental health transformation, we looked at what works well, what does not and whether there are any gaps or things we can improve or do differently.
This helped to inform our five workstream areas. The table below shows our five workstreams and what work will take place for each workstream.

Aims about the five workstreams can be found in the box’s below, and we have added in ‘Cross cutting themes’ box
Core model
Aim: to deliver a transformed community model for CMHT based on the locality and community partnership footprint, with new roles and integrated approach for secondary and primary care – a universal offer via Healthy Minds/Guide-Line/First Response.
Care provision
Aim: an accessible by all patient centric support plan. This should include a process that enables support from the integrated framework (across the partnerships) with patient safety at the heart. All partners including VCS are involved with trusted input and equality of voice across our different services that nurture coproduction. Ensuring we reduce inequalities in access to support.
Workforce
Aim: developing the workforce for the future.
Digital, data and outcomes
Aim: building the infrastructure to be insight and needs led and communicate effectively across our partnership to improve the health outcomes of people accessing our services.
Focussed support
Aim: delivering recovery focussed support at scale with West Yorkshire partners.
Cross cutting themes
Aim: foundations of the transformation programme are in place.
