| £2.5m funding pledged to South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw to improve mental health services |
|
|
South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Integrated Care System (ICS) has an additional £2.5m investment, to bring mental health services in Sheffield closer to people’s homes and better join up mental health support services.
The ICS, with partners NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Sheffield Health and Social Care Trust, Primary Care Sheffield, Sheffield MIND and Sheffield City Council, put in a bid for the funding to put mental health services into Sheffield neighbourhoods, closer to where people live and more aligned to their GP practices.
Services will be transformed so that there will be ‘no wrong door’ for mental health services, meaning wherever patients try to get their support they will be seamlessly supported to get what they need, rather than referred to another agency. It will reduce waits for personality disorder and specialist therapy services; and a series of new roles for supporting improved mental health will be created. The funding will also support improvements to the eating disorder services in the city.
It is envisaged that over the two years of funding every Primary Care Network (which is a series of GP practices working together to provide more specialist services for their local community) will have dedicated community mental health care. This will be supported by an expanded and more joined up workforce from health, social care and voluntary sector organisations to offer the additional wraparound care that patients may need.

| New cancer data hub will improve treatments and save lives |
|
|
South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Integrated Care System is a partner in the development of a new national cancer data hub, which could potentially help save the lives of up to 30,000 people a year in the UK.
The hub is to be created, thanks to a successful, multi-agency, bid, which has seen Yorkshire and Humberside awarded part of a £4.5million pledge by the government to set up the hub.
DATA-CAN – The Health Data Research UK Hub for Cancer – will work with patients across the UK to bring their clinical data together and use this data to help develop improved cancer treatments, give patients faster access to clinical trials, and understand how we can improve NHS cancer services. The Hub will be supported by patients, charities, clinicians, academic and industry-based researchers and innovators, and will involve cancer hospitals across the UK.
One in two people will get cancer during their lifetime. Every year, almost 400,000 new cases are diagnosed in the UK, and cancer costs the NHS £7bn annually. Using cancer data more effectively could improve cancer survival rates, potentially contributing to saving the lives of 30,000 cancer patients a year.
DATA-CAN aims to transform the ability of researchers to use high-quality cancer data, while ensuring all data is held securely and patients can decide how their data might be used. It is one of seven Health Data Research Hubs being set up across the UK to speed up research for new medicines and treatments, support quicker diagnoses and potentially save lives
The Health Data Research Hubs are part of a four-year £37million investment from the Government Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF), led by UK Research and Innovation, to create a UK-wide system for the safe and responsible use of health-related data on a large scale.
Partners working with South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Integrated Care System include West Yorkshire and Harrogate ICS, Humber, Coast and Vale STP, UCL Partners, Queen’s University Belfast also representing partners in Wales, Genomics England and IQVIA.
Professor Des Breen, Medical Director for the South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw Integrated Care System said: “DATA-CAN will support the use of data to deliver benefits for patients and healthcare professionals, improve the health of UK citizens, enable world-leading medical research and create new investment in healthcare. We are delighted to be a partner in enabling this to become a reality.”

| New stroke service extended to Barnsley patients |
|
|
Receiving specialist treatment in the first 72 hours after having a stroke is vital for patients to survive, and to survive well. The NHS across South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw is now better able to provide this specialist care. Following on from the successful launch of hyper acute stroke units in the region earlier this year, the service is being extended to Barnsley patients.

Do you support patients with respiratory conditions?
If so, we are offering a limited number of free training places for paramedics, community nurses, primary care nurses and clinical pharmacists, in cognitive behavioural therapy to support patients with respiratory conditions.
The training is being run by the South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw ICS Innovation Hub in collaboration with the Yorkshire & Humber Academic Health Science Network.
It is part of a pilot study being run in Rotherham and Barnsley, which is exploring the use of cognitive behavioural therapy to help reduce emergency admissions of patients with respiratory conditions.
The aims of the project are to:
- ‘Upskill’ front line staff* in the management of respiratory exacerbations through increased awareness of CBT principles
- Increase the knowledge base of staff on the impact of mental health on respiratory condition exacerbation
- Reduce anxiety in patients with respiratory conditions
The training will be delivered over two-levels, with ongoing clinical supervision.
Level 1: One to two hours self-directed on-line training
Level 2: Face to face training on November 4 or 5 2019 to include: patient screening, risk assessment, specific CBT interventions, breathlessness management strategies, anxiety/depression management strategies, social prescribing.
Clinical supervision session on December 9 or 10 (dates to be confirmed).
After the training, participants will receive clinical supervision follow-up sessions every six weeks for six months. Training will contribute to your Continuing Professional Development target.

| Free WebEx - physical health checks for mental health patients |
|
|
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends annual physical health checks for people with serious mental illness (SMI). Evidence shows that people with SMI die up to twenty years younger than the average population. Preventable cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of death, along with endocrine disease and respiratory failure. Evidence also suggests that these individuals receive a lesser standard of health promotion and physical health care and despite national awareness and guidelines early mortality rates have not improved.
Planning is currently underway for a series of good practice sharing events and WebEx’s to support primary care teams with the management of physical health in patients with serious mental illness. We will:
*Explore why this co-hort of patients experience side effects, gain weight and die prematurely
*Look at progress on implementation of annual physical health checks for people with SMI in Y&H and how we compare
*Share a case study and good practice tools developed to equip you undertake annual physical health checks with optimum effectiveness and efficiency
*Provide opportunity for Q&A

| Suicide prevention training on World Mental Health Day - October 10 |
|
|
|
Next Thursday, October 10 is World Mental Health Day and this year's theme is suicide prevention, which is a key priority for the ICS.
Suicide prevention remains a universal challenge. Every year, suicide is among the top 20 leading causes of death globally for people of all ages. It is responsible for over 800,000 deaths, which equates to one suicide every 40 seconds.
Preventing suicide can be possible in some cases and everyone can play a part. You can raise awareness about the issue, educate yourself and others about the causes of suicide and warning signs for suicide, show compassion and care for those who are in distress in your community, question the stigma associated with suicide, suicidal behaviour and mental health problems and share your own experiences.
Please have a look at this fantastic online training course by the Zero Suicide Alliance, which will equip you to have conversations with friends, colleagues, relatives and strangers and could just help save someone’s life.
Find out more about work the ICS is doing to reduce suicide here.
There are various activities planned within 722 for staff to mark World Mental Health Day. Please contact Katy Davison (katy.davison@nhs.net) for more information.
