The creation of a shared purpose is seeing great improvements for patients in the Sussex Health and Care Partnership, as organisations in the integrated care system work closer together to meet the changing needs of the local population. A great example of this is the Mental Health Collaborative that recognises mental health and wellbeing as the responsibility of the whole health and care system. And, in this 17 minute podcast we hear from those involved in the collaborative and how closer working and gathered learning that informs future practice, centred around the patient’s perspective, can reap huge benefits for residents.
