| Annotation | This set of documents is a web-based resource to support commissioners and health and social care practitioners. It should be used as a set: the Guide, five briefings and the Service Development Guide. The briefings are: Key messages for commissioners; Information for commissioners; Information for service users and carers; Information for health and social care professionals; and Information for providers. The aim of the Service Development Guide is not to develop new policies, but to improve health and social care practice at the front line, so that older adults with mental health problems, and their carers, have their needs met wherever they are in the system, without encountering discrimination or barriers to access. The Guide builds on the service models outlined in the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF, 2001) and supports the principles promoted in Securing Better Mental Health for Older Adults (2005). An Older People's Mental Health Mapping framework, launched in November 2005 to coincide with this Guide, will support local commissioning decisions, by providing national benchmarking for local services. This Guide is supported by a comprehensive web-based resource, which provides further information for anyone involved in health and social care for older people with mental health problems. The web site includes guidance on best practice, local service examples and links to relevant policy. (KJ/RH). |
