Cheshire and Merseyside NHS led provider collaborative ‘Level Up’ is now live
This model for designing and delivering specialised mental health care is a partnership made up of a variety of NHS and independent sector providers who are working together to drive innovation and creativity in offering person centred care. Partners include: Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Priory Healthcare, Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust, Cygnet Health Care and Mersey Care.
The new model is about providing care closer to home and ensuring the care and treatment that young people would have received in hospital will be delivered in the community. The name and identity was co-produced with young people and the provider collaborative will continue to engage with young people and families to ensure they are involved in every step. To help ensure this, Level Up is working with Young Minds and Inspire, Motivate, Overcome (IMO), to inform our experts by experience programme. To read more click here. By working with YoungMinds and IMO the provider collaborative aims to drive improvements across Cheshire and Merseyside and also to support the establishment of the Experts by Experience programme.
