SAVE THE DATE st nd Tuesday 31 January 2017 and Wednesday 22 February 2017 2.00pm – 4.00pm (Venue to be announced) Giving Service Users a Voice! What does your organisation do to support service user leadership? Service user involvement is about making sure that mental health support services provided by statutory and not- for-profit organisations are led and shaped by the people best placed to know what works: people who use our services. They are experts by experience. Increasingly, meaningful engagement of people who currently use—or have used—services is being recognised as integral to influencing and shaping future mental health services and in particular how, where and when services and support are delivered. When people are equipped and supported to help commission, deliver and check the services they and their peers use, those services improve and the people involved gain a voice. Dr Geraldine Strathdee, National Clinical Director for Mental Health, NHS England says “Service-user leadership is fundamental to designing, delivering and checking services that support people to fulfil their potential. Only by transforming services in the way that the people who use them want us to can better outcomes be achieved at a time of real budget constraint.” Somerset Mental Health Hub is being organised by the three Somerset Mind groups working together. This work has been funded by Somerset County Council Public Health, Building for the Future Initiative. This is intended to help strengthen the capacity of the third sector mental health organisations in Somerset. Correspondence: [email protected] Discussions with commissioners are on-going and with the concerted efforts of the Somerset Mental Health Hub and Somerset Voluntary Community Enterprise Strategic Forum commissioners and key health care colleagues are recognising the wealth of experience of our sector in meeting the needs of the groups we work with, including those groups most excluded. In particular, we have experience of helping people to manage their own mental health better in the community—including through peer support services, user-led self-help groups, mentoring and befriending, and numerous projects, which enable service users to be both providers and recipients of support. We are also recognised for providing well managed and well-supported volunteering opportunities that enable people to develop the skills and confidence to play a more active role in their own wellbeing and their community. Now is the time for our sector to further demonstrate our knowledge and skills in how we enable our service users to have a voice. We do not see people as passive recipients of services but involve service users in activities; seeking their opinions so that the design and delivery of our services are as good as possible. Colleagues from the Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group, Somerset Partnerships and Somerset County Council will participate in the event so I do hope that you will regard these events as being an opportunity not to be missed. 2. Have your Say! A Message from the National NHS England Specialised Commissioning Team As part of the Mental Health Service review programme we are today launching the 90 day public consultation on the five following service specifications for Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHs) Tier 4 1. C11/S/a Child & Adolescent Medium Secure Service Specification (draft) 2. C11/S/b Child & Adolescent Low Secure Service Specification (draft) 3. C11/S/c Child & Adolescent Forensic Outreach Service Specification (draft) 4. C11/S/d Child & Adolescent PICU Service Specification (draft) 5. C07/S/a CAMHS T4 General Adolescent Service Specification (draft) These specifications have been developed with the support of lead clinicians and patient and public representatives. This approach has ensured that the views of stakeholders have informed the development and now NHS England is undertaking a formal 90-day public consultation. We will also be hosting a series of webinars and face to face events in the New Year and we will share the dates and times once they have been confirmed. The new specifications once finalised will play an important part in our work to reconfigure services to ensure improvements in local overall pathway integration, improvements in local access and reductions in travel times and out of area placements. The closing date for responses is 28 February 2016 Cathy Edwards Operational Delivery Director (National) Specialised Commissioning NHS England, Mobile: 07887796606 [email protected] 3. FUNDING Page 2 of 8 COMMUNITY ASSET FUNDING SPORT ENGLAND Help to transform community sports facilities Traditional sports facilities are an important part of this, but it can be much wider too. There are thousands of outdoor spaces up and down the country – like canal towpaths, reservoirs and woodlands – all with great potential to be used and enjoyed as part of an active lifestyle. If you know of a facility or space that’s important in your local area and could do with some help to improve it or open it up to more people, our new Community Asset Fund could be the answer. What are we looking for? We’re interested in talking to lots of different sports clubs and community organisations with great ideas to create, or improve, opportunities to play sport or just get active. For example, you might be: A community organisation looking to take over a sports facility that might be under threat of closure or is underused. A sports club that wants to expand or improve the sporting experience you offer your customers. People who simply have a great idea for a project, like making physical improvements to a building or open space, that’s clearly needed in the local community. How will it work in the beginning? In December, we're going to launch a programme to test this new way of making sporting spaces work better for local communities. This £7.5 million investment is going to be available for a wide range of organisations such as sports clubs, community groups and public bodies to apply for. £7.5mfund launching in December It might be that you need help develop a proposal, or to consult your local community on what they would like to see happen. You might need help to get partners behind it and see what other funding or support might be available. Or maybe you already have a very clear idea of what you want to do. We’re making the application process as simple as possible, and will be able to talk you through it. We anticipate making a wide range of awards from £5,000 up to £150,000. We will provide more detailed information on the application process in January 2017 and expect to make the first awards from April 2017 onwards. More funding will become available after the initial phase. What are we trying to achieve? There’s a number of things we want to achieve with this funding, but most importantly we want to help local clubs and groups to create high quality, welcoming and financially sustainable facilities that benefit their community for years to come. Sometimes, that will be by investing in a sports club to improve its facilities – perhaps refurbishing their changing rooms or fitting a new boiler in the club house. We want to help local clubs and groups to create high quality, welcoming and financially sustainable facilities Other times, it could be supporting a community group that doesn’t have a base to take over a local building that’s closed or underused, but that with a little help could be transformed into somewhere people could take part in sport or get active as part of a range of activities. Page 3 of 8 Who might consider applying for funding? Any eligible organisation with a great and innovative idea can apply for our support. This could include community organisations or clubs that: Own or lease existing local facilities that offer the community the chance to play sport and be active. Are considering taking over an existing local facility – whether or not it is currently used for sport. Haven’t accessed our funding before but that want to create great spaces for people to be active. What types of projects are we interested in hearing about? We don’t want to stifle your thinking and creativity, but here are some of the things you could think about: Work to repair, expand or improve a community sports facility. Perhaps your roof has been damaged in a storm, or you could increase the amount of time people can use your pitch or courts if you had floodlights installed. Taking ownership of an underused playing field that could be transformed into a place for people to get active. Maybe there’s a really well positioned but poorly maintained pitch in your area, that you could take ownership of, improve drainage and access, and bring back into use for the wider local community. Transforming an empty or underused building into a space where people can play sport. Is there a vacant community centre or school building that, with a new boiler, paint job and necessary alterations, could be brought back into life as a focus for community activity, including sport? What support is available now? It might be that your facilities project is already right for one of our open funding programmes, like our Strategic Facilities Fund.

  • FFMF Improving Community Health and Care Services Engagement
    Report to the NHS Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group on 22 July 2021 Title: Fit for my Future: Improving Community Health and Care Enclosure Services community engagement report G Version Number / Status: 1.0 Executive Lead Maria Heard / Programme Director , Fit for my Future Clinical Lead: Dr Alex Murray Author: Sara Bonfanti / Head of Communications and Engagement Summary and Purpose of Paper The Fit for my Future (FFMF) ‘Improving Community Health and Care Services for people in Somerset’ community engagement took place in January to April 2020; however, the public release of the independent findings report produced by Participate was paused due to the COVID- 19 pandemic. With the community hospital engagement underway, it is felt that this would be a good opportunity to share the key findings from the report with stakeholders including members of the public. This would help to ensure that the information is publicly available and the outcomes and challenges faced are clear in everyone’s minds. The Fit for my Future Programme Board approved the Improving Community Health and Care Services Community Engagement Findings report and its public release at its board meeting on 17 June 2021. This paper provides a summary of the findings from the community engagement and the full Improving Community Health and Care Services Community Engagement Findings report. The findings of the report are being used to inform the work to develop integrated care services and the vision of community hospitals. Recommendations and next steps The Governing Body members are asked to: approve the Fit for my Future Improving Community Health and Care Services Community Engagement Findings report; and approve the recommendation to release the report and promote to members of the public; and note the next steps to develop integrated care services and a vision for community hospitals.
