Since 2020 the responsibility for the commissioning of Adult Secure Care mental health, learning disability and autism services has transferred from NHS England (NHSE) Specialised Commissioning to Provider Collaboratives (PCs).
Fifteen PC's nationally coordinate and deliver care for adult patients requiring low and medium secure care. The East Midlands area PC is called IMPACT.
IMPACT is a partnership of 9 NHS and independent sector providers and is led by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust as the Lead Provider.
The Other Organisations In The Collaborative Are
* Cygnet Healthcare
* Derbyshire Healthcare NHS FT
* Elysium Healthcare, Leicestershire Partnerships NHS Trust
* Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
* Lincolnshire Partnerships NHS FT
* Northamptonshire NHS FT
* Priory Healthcare
* St Andrews Healthcare
In order to preserve integrity and avoid conflicts of interest, Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS FT as the Lead Provider developed an arms-length commissioning and clinical oversight function (the IMPACT commissioning hub). IMPACT's commissioning hub's role involves understanding the local population and empowering local clinicians and Experts by Experience to design improved pathways of care. Through the Lead Provider arrangements IMPACT also sub-contracts other providers e.g. to support discharges from secure care, assure the quality of services and lead the necessary reporting regionally and nationally to NHS England.
The post holder will implement the delivery of the Coproduction Strategy across the IMPACT Provider Collaborative providers and its wider stakeholders and will coordinate and project manage activities that build partnerships between service users, carers and service providers to bring about transformative changes to adult secure services, organisational culture and individual lives.
The postholder will ensure coproduction is informing all stages of our commissioning cycle and outcomes-based commissioning strategies with patients/service users and carers views being at the heart of what we do.
The post holder will support the IMPACT Lead for Improvement, Managing Director and Clinical Lead in specific projects across the coproduction and communications strategies.
