Your bid MUST cover at least one of the following Quality Account priorities:
Priority 1: Psychological therapies – improving access and outcomes
Priority 2: Delivering service improvements by listening to and learning from service user feedback
Priority 3: Recovery – improving outcomes through the delivery of recovery – focussed services
Priority 4: Improving carer identification, involvement and engagement
Priority 5: Enhancing the quality of life for people with dementia
Priority 6: Supporting improvements in service users’ physical health
Priority 7: Positive and safe: promoting individualised support plans
Priority 8: Dual diagnosis – Improving responsiveness to individuals with problematic substance misuse and mental illness
GMW are also encouraging proposals that support staff health and well-being and motivation as this will help staff to continue delivering high quality services.
