Evolving Your IAPT Service

Extend your reach: how to improve access to your psychological therapy service
Are you up to the challenge of cost-effectively providing quality psychological therapy services that meet the requirements of the second phase of IAPT?

We all know that IAPT is evolving towards meeting the needs of a much broader range of service users. But what practical steps can you take towards achieving this? How can you ensure consistently high quality services in the face of funding cuts and an uncertain commissioning environment? And how can you improve partnerships between primary and secondary care and the third sector to offer better services to more people?

This conference offers you as commissioners and providers of psychological therapy services the opportunity to learn from the experience of your peers from around the country.

Join us to find out how to:

Evolve your IAPT service: improve access to psychological therapies for children and young people, older people and those with long term physical conditions
Optimise IAPT data collection and outcome monitoring: develop an outcome-based currency for Payment by Results in mental health
Meet the challenges of working in partnership: ensure smooth interaction in the delivery of psychological services between primary and secondary care, and the third sector
Deliver IAPT in your acute setting: improve the capacity for psychological therapies in secondary care

You probably know what’s going on in your region, but what about the rest of the country? This is your chance to benefit from a host of case-study led, practical presentations which will give you genuine insight into how your IAPT colleagues from up and down the country are evolving and improving their IAPT services.

You’ll also meet and exchange experiences with a wide range of IAPT programme leads and mental health commissioners as well as managers and clinical leads for psychological therapies from both primary and secondary care.
