    Staff retention is a significant issue for ambulance services across the globe. Exploratory research, although minimal, indicates that stress and burnout, in particular, influence attrition within the paramedic profession. These need to be understood if their impact on retention is to be addressed.

    This editorial in The Lancet examines the growing gap between the mental health needs of children and young people in the UK, and the services available to support them. It comments on the report by the Children's Commissioner 'The state of children’s mental health services 2018/19', which highlighted that an estimated 13% of children aged 5–19 years in England have a mental health disorder, with the true numbers of children affected are likely to be much higher. The article looks at treatment delays, long waiting lists and the denial of treatment for children whose symptoms are not considered 'serious enough'. It highlights chronic underfunding and lack of parity between physical and mental health problems as major causes.

    The NHS long term plan (LTP) builds on the commitments for mental health services set out in the five-year forward view for mental health (FYFVMH), emphasising collaboration and the use of digital innovations to deliver more personalised and streamlined care. The mental health implementation plan 2019/20-2023/24 provides a framework to support the delivery of these commitments locally, and sets out a combination of fixed, flexible and targeted approaches, with core national targets supported by flexibility for local systems to agree how best to deliver services. To support the ambitions within the Plan, the NHS has made a renewed commitment that funding for mental health services will grow faster than the overall NHS budget, creating a new ringfenced local investment fund worth at least £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24. In 2022 the Government issued a call for evidence to inform a new, 10-year cross-government Mental health and wellbeing plan. In January 2023 the Government announced it will publish a Major Conditions Strategy that will include mental health. The Government has said a joined up strategy will ensure that mental health conditions are considered alongside physical health conditions. The GovConnect Mental Health annual conference is committed to providing learning and solutions which improve mental health and wellbeing outcomes, particularly for people who experience worse outcomes than the general population. This is a key part of our Governments commitment to ‘level up’, and address unequal outcomes and life chances across the country. The government has committed to develop a new cross-government, 10-year plan for mental health and wellbeing for England to support this objective. Mental Health 2023 – Delivering Collaborative Whole Pathways of Care. Will give attendees the opportunity to engage with key personnel from delivery partners and national stakeholder organisations, providing an assessment of FYFVMH transition to LTP planning and delivery progress, addressing the 13 core areas of mental health services provision set out in the implementation plan, including child and adolescent mental health, maternal mental health services, the mental health of older people, and care for people with serious mental illness. Along with learning and interactive debate on: How can we improve the quality and effectiveness of treatment for mental health conditions? How can we all support people living with mental health conditions to live well? How can we improve the quality and effectiveness of treatment for mental health conditions? How can we all improve support for people in crisis? How can we all intervene earlier when people need support with their mental health? We invite all organisations and individuals from all NHS settings, Local authorities, independent and VCSE sectors and private providers to join us at the Royal Society of Medicine, London.

    This joint conference hosted by The Mental Health – Time for Action Foundation and Safely Held Spaces is aimed at stimulating discussion and promoting change in the way mental health services view the role of the family in the therapeutic process. Going beyond the “carer-patient” model, the conference brings into focus the broader perspective that mental health is not just an individual concern but involves the whole family system. Recognising the importance of the family system’s wellbeing promotes a more holistic approach to mental health. Our objective is to foster an environment for learning and discussion about the latest evidence-based practices across the NHS and third sector organisations. The conference will encompass a series of talks, workshops, and interactive panel discussions. You will have the opportunity to engage with a network of families experiencing mental distress, paving the way for collaborative efforts.

    The Department of Health and Social Care announced on the 5th April 2023 that the implementation of the Liberty Protection Safeguards will be delayed until at least the next general election (anticipated to be in Autumn 2024). With the delay to the Liberty Protection Safeguards it is more important than ever to ensure the existing scheme of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) works, that providers understand the application of Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards and interaction with the Mental Capacity Act. It has been widely recognised that there are number of challenges associated with the current DoLS system, particularly in light of the increases in the number of DoLS applications – which have been seen across England and Wales. In light of the UK Government decision, we will need to consider how we strengthen the current DoLS system in order to continue to protect and promote the human rights of those people who lack mental capacity.

    The 2023 Mental Health Network Annual Conference and Exhibition will bring together over 130 senior leaders from the mental health, learning disability and autism sector for lively discussions on the future of services, to share good practice, horizon scan, and network with their peers. The next year brings a range of opportunities and challenges for mental health providers. Organisations are continuing to deliver services whilst facing unprecedented community need, workforce shortages and with the cost of living risking eroding the mental wellbeing of the wider population. Even with these challenges, 2023 presents a year of opportunities. This includes funding secured to continue to deliver the NHS Long Term Plan, a new landscape of integrated care, significant community transformation work underway, and key bills passing through parliament aimed at improving the policy environment mental health providers operate in. The Network’s members will once again come together to focus on the challenges and opportunities the mental health sector faces within the changing context. Register

    The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic increase in the percentage of adults showing moderate or severe symptoms of depression. The Office for National Statistics said that over 16% of adults were affected in 2020 – compared with around 10% in 2019. Those affected were more likely to feel stressed or anxious and worried about their future than in 2019. Many of these people will need support and treatment from the NHS – and may not have sought it during the pandemic. In addition, financial pressures over the coming years may lead to more cases of depression. Some will seek help from their GP and be referred onwards for treatment – often to the sort of “talking therapies” used in IAPTs. But getting access to these is not always straightforward or quick, and patients can often represent to their GP seeking help. In addition, patients can suffer low points but not be able to access support until their next IAPTs session. This HSJ webinar, in association with Ethypharm Digital Therapy, will look at these issues and ask what solutions are available. What is the current situation with support for those with depression and how does it impact on GPs and other primary care professionals, as well as patients? What are the challenges around existing IAPTs capacity? Is there scope for other existing mental health services to assist? How can digital solutions be used to increase capacity? How can solutions be scaled up for use across an integrated care system area? Speakers include: Dr Kate Lovett, consultant psychiatrist, former dean of the Royal College of Psychiatrists Andy Bell, deputy chief executive, Centre for Mental Health Hélène Moore, Pharmaceutical, Ethypharm Claire Read, HSJ contributor (webinar chair) Register for the webinar

    The recent press release from the UK Government outlines a White Paper which contains the reforms: "Major reform of Mental Health Act will empower individuals to have more control over their treatment and deliver on a key manifesto commitment. Reforms will deliver parity between mental and physical health services and put patients’ views at the centre of their care. Plan will tackle mental health inequalities including disproportionate detention of people from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities, the use of the act to detain people with learning disabilities and autism, and improve care for patients within the criminal justice system..." The report covers: "A package of reforms has been set out in a wide-ranging new Reforming the Mental Health Act white paper, which builds on the recommendations made by Sir Simon Wessely’s Independent Review of the Mental Health Act in 2018. At the heart of the proposed reforms to the Mental Health Act is greater choice and autonomy for patients in a mental health crisis, ensuring the act’s powers are used in the least restrictive way, that patients receive the care they need to help them recover and all patients are viewed and treated as individuals. These reforms aim to tackle the racial disparities in mental health services, better meet the needs of people with learning disabilities and autism and ensure appropriate care for people with serious mental illness within the criminal justice system."

    I hallucinate + hear voices but I am not ill + do not take psychiatric drugs .... For me , mental illness is a lie which causes untold damage ... I have been gathering information around Mental Health hospital admissions / Haven / Maytree model / Homelessness ... I have also gathered information around seclusion , electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), restraint and serious incidents ... The data speaks for itself Each admission, restraint, each seclusion, each serious incident is a human rights abuse. We just need to listen? Alexis Quinn? Act wisely? We are not using public money – our money well (each admission costs at least £18K) We need to learn from Italy, Finland, Manchester and others. Work together? How will we put the change we need into action? not just strategy papers ? We need the other part of this “picture” the data from the Haven and community. In summary my aims are ... All Mental Health Hospitals should be closed as per Italy; the Haven/ respite/ Home Group model should be adopted. The Mental Health Act should be abolished, one of the few areas of law where you can be locked away for something you may do, by people who have a vested interest in locking you away. (James Davies work CRACKED why psychiatry is does more harm than good is relevant here?). People should be supported to come off psychiatric drugs if this is their wish. Move from a Medical model of distress to a social / Human Rights model of distress. Ladder of Citizen control.pdf
