Manchester Mental and Social Care Trust are planning to redesign their later life mental health services.
In summary, Manchester Mental and Social Care Trust want to provide mental health services that are fit for purpose, underpinned by evidence based practice and which take account of service users’ and carers’ views as well as making best use of the available resources.
The plans will improve current services and deliver more equitable services across the City. The proposed redesign will increase the number of clinical staff working in these services as well as creating new dementia support advisor roles. There are no planned staff redundancies. In addition, the Manchester Mental and Social Care Trust have received some funding from Manchester Clinical Commissioning Groups. To date 2 social worker posts have been funded for the Later Life inpatient wards who support people to be discharged from hospital.
