Working for our organisation

BirminghamÌýWomen’s andÌýChildren’s NHS Foundation Trust (BWC) are the Lead Provider of the West Midlands CAMHS Provider Collaborative (WMCPC) bringing together integrated provision of specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability and autism services, for young people (YP) aged 13-18.
Ìý
Provider Collaboratives have been established across England to encourage closer regional partnership working. This means that for the first time, pathway and budget management is WMCPC’s responsibility, giving us the autonomy and opportunity to reinvest savings into community and step-down services that our region’s YP's need the most.
Here in the West Midlands - and across the country – those who need an inpatient admission experienced either a long wait for a bed or are admitted to hospitals far from home.
By working collaboratively, using local data and listening and engaging with our service users, we have reduced the number of YP's admitted to inpatient services, driven down length of stay, and brought care closer to home ultimately improving the outcome and experience of every YP under our care.
WMCPC are aiming to change the way in which health and care systems are organised for YP by shifting the emphasis away from inpatient care as the primary option for professionals, towards a multi-agency partnership approach within communities. This route provides an alternative pathway for YPÌýwho may come to the attention of Tier 4 inpatient services.
