The roll out of the model is designed to enable culture and practice change by building capacity and capability in the system. The improvement programme will be delivered through the NHS-led provider collaboratives to support providers to work in a way that reduces the levels of restrictions and prevents harm and escalation in the system.

This will improve the experience of people in these settings and reduce their length of stay in hospital with appropriate planning for discharge and community support.

We will be working to embed the model across inpatient services to deliver change and reduce segregation and overall reliance on restrictive practices on a national scale. It will have deliverable outcomes for individuals, their families and carers, NHS funded organisations and the wider system. Read more about how we are recruiting senior practitioners to this role

We will deliver the HOPE(S) clinical model of care nationally by creating a team of specialist clinical practitioners and building on existing successful quality improvement programmes.

The model will:

• improve experience and physical health outcomes,
• reduce length of stay
• support appropriate forward planning,
• support discharge, and
• provide for excellent links into the community

The focus is on those individuals currently in Long-Term Segregation who are:

• all Children and Young People
• autistic adults
• adults with a learning disability

However, the clinical skills, practice leadership and pro-active model will influence mental health and learning disability settings for all ages across the NHS led provider collaboratives.
