Supervision for Psychological Therapy for Severe Mental Health Problems (PT-SMHP) - NHS England and Improvement, London Region (v2)
This sits in the upper-middle of the Health & Social Care band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
As part of NHS England/Improvement's (NHSEI) commitment to the continuous improvement of the provision of psychological therapies for severe mental health problems (PT-SMHP), we work closely with Health Education England (HEE) to understand and meet the training demands of Trusts.
This is to ensure the workforce have the necessary skills and qualifications required to deliver evidence based psychological therapies and meet service demand.
The focus has to date been on training, however there is a recognition that high quality supervision of the evidence-based psychological therapy (EBPT) is essential to ensure that newly trained people can consolidate new skills and to ensure fidelity to the models.
As part of the national training programme to improve access to psychological therapies for severe mental health problems, funding has been made available nationally to rapidly increase supervisor capacity to support trainees.
The London region of Mental Health Trusts is therefore looking for suppliers to provide additional supervisory capacity across a number of psychological therapy modalities.
