28.11.14 Sarah Khan MH Senior Programme Lead (Access & Waits) NHS England Preparing to implement the new mental health access & waiting time standards The Financial Package Using a new 40 million funding boost for mental health services, secured to kick-start delivery of the 2020 vision, we will be building capacity in some priority areas in order to prepare for the introduction of new access standards in the following year. 7m to CAMHS T4, 33m to EIP and crisis care in 14/15 Plus: 4 x 200k EIP regional preparedness money In 2015/16 a further 80m will be freed from existing budgets, enabling introduction of the first access and waiting times standards of their kind lines in the sand to be set on parity of esteem for mental health services. 40m to be targeted recurrently on EIP, 30m on liaison psychiatry and 10m on IAPT 2
The 15/16 Access & Waiting Time Standard for EIP By April 2016: More than 50% of people experiencing a first episode of psychosis will be treated with a NICE approved care package within two weeks of referral. 3
4 NHS Presentation to [XXXX Company] [Type Date] National Expert Reference Group Developing the new Access & Waiting Times Target for Early Intervention in Psychosis services
How will the standard be measured? In order to monitor the new access & waiting time standard the national EIP ERG is working with the HSCIC to specify: 1. What the clock starts and clock stops should be to measure the two-week referral to treatment standard the waiting time 2. What the NICE concordant intervention codes should be the quality of care The ERG is also working to specify what the EIP outcomes dataset should be. One window to change the MHMDS in the next 2-3 years! Specify the changes required to the dataset by the end of November 2014 in order for the dataset (and the fields on RiO / Jade etc) to change from 1 st April 2016. In 15/16, RTT performance will be assessed using MHMDS proxies or a UNIFY collection. We expect to use national clinical audit to assess the quality of service provision in 15/16 5

Purpose of the South Region ERG Improve the regions capacity and capability to deliver the new standards; Reduce unwarranted variation in workforce competency across the region; 8 NHS Presentation to [XXXX Company] [Type Date]
Regional preparedness work 1. Raising awareness 2. Bringing together the experts and establishing quality improvement networks 3. Understanding demand 4. Understanding baseline position + gap analysis 2 week wait is the easy part 5. Optimising RTT pathways need to engage all of the potential referral sources 6. Developing the workforce capacity, skills & leadership can the workforce deliver the full range of NICE concordant interventions as this will be the definition of treatment? By far the biggest challenge! LETB engagement will be critical 7. Preparing for the new data collection requirements training for service and information leads 9

1.2 Supporting funding The new standards for 15/16 will be supported by an 80m funding package: 40m recurrent funding to support delivery of the early intervention in psychosis standard;
Monitor and the NHS Trust Development Authority (TDA) have highlighted the importance of prioritising achievement of the new standards in their planning frameworks for providers for 15/16.
1.3 Expectations of commissioners and providers Commissioners should agree robust implementation plans with providers as part of their 15/16 contract development work. Commissioners are required to agree service development and improvement plans (SDIPs) as part of their 15/16 contract with mental health providers, setting out how providers will prepare for and implement the new standards during 2015/16 and achieve them on an ongoing basis from 1 April 2016.
2.5 Expectations of commissioners NHS England s expectation is that the additional 40m funding being made available recurrently should be invested recurrently in EIP services to support sustainable delivery of the new access and waiting time standard. EIP services are subject to local agreement on pricing, and so commissioners should ensure that increases in the level of local investment take into account baseline performance against both elements of the EIP standard: Referral to treatment waiting times; and current levels of NICE concordance
2.3 How will the standard be measured? Both elements of the standard will be measured the wait from referral to treatment and whether the treatment accessed is NICE concordant.
2.3.2 Assessing NICE concordance The approach to measurement will be necessarily retrospective. For year 1, the approach currently being explored is the commissioning of a national clinical audit focusing on the care offered and delivered to individuals identified as experiencing first episode psychosis during 2015/16. By April 2016, the mental health and learning disability dataset (MHLDDS) is to be updated to include the relevant NICE concordant interventions so that it should be possible in the medium term to draw the relevant data directly from provider systems. A third option under development is the establishment of an accreditation or service kitemarking scheme for early intervention in psychosis services.
2.7 Regional Preparedness work should comprise: 1. Raising awareness of the requirements of the new standard. 2. Bringing together local experts and establishing quality improvement networks, ensuring effective linkage with strategic clinical networks. 3. Understanding levels of demand in constituent CCGs and any inequities in access relative to the levels and patterns of psychosis incidence in the population. 4. Understanding baseline performance and undertaking a gap analysis. 5. Optimising referral to treatment pathways, engaging all of the likely referral sources. 6. Preparing for the new data collection requirements and providing training for EIP service and information leads. 7. Supporting local workforce development programmes.
Challenges 40M will become available to Trusts that have signed up for the enhanced tariff BEFORE we have completed the national and regional work particularly defining the 2015 EIP spec for clock stop (for commissioner guidelines) and the gap analysis to follow the baseline surveys. The waiting time target will be a MDS requirement next year not this.

Improving Access to Psychological Therapies for People with Psychosis: Delivering High Quality Therapy Dr Louise Johns Consultant Clinical Psychologist South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Oxford Early Intervention Team February 2015
Implementation of CBTp Psychological therapies are not readily accessible for people with psychosis Delivery rates in routine NHS services in UK are 10% (The Schizophrenia Commission, 2012) THE ABANDONED ILLNESS A report by the Schizophrenia Commission November 2012
Barriers to access Unclear referral pathways Prioritisation of other interventions Lack of suitably trained, competent and confident staff Restricted access to training, support and supervision for therapists Lack of organisational support (Shafran et al., 2009; Prytys et al., 2011)
Overcoming obstacles to access through IAPT-SMI
IAPT for SMI Initiative Part of the government s four-year plan to increase access to talking therapies Transforming mental health services to be better able to provide NICE approved psychological therapies to people with bipolar disorder, personality disorders and psychosis Equity of provision regardless of age, gender & BME status 6 SMI demonstration sites, started in Nov 2012 3 PD, 2 psychosis, 1 bipolar disorder Data collection until Dec 2014, final report by April 2015
What IAPT-SMI offers CBT for psychosis: Weekly or fortnightly individual 1 hour sessions 6-9 months therapy Therapists receive weekly-fortnightly group supervision See clients locally at the team base FI for psychosis: Fortnightly 1 hour sessions with client and carer(s) Up to ten sessions, over a period of 3-9 months Therapy delivered by two trained therapists Therapists receive weekly-fortnightly group supervision

Quality of CBTp A key challenge has been lack of clarity about quality Lack of criteria have resulted in an anything goes approach to psychological therapy in mental health services, and inflated estimates of provision RCTs: Generic CBT competencies are not associated with good clinical outcomes (Durham et al, 2003); specific CBTp competencies are (Wykes et al, 2008 ; Steel et al, 2011) IAPT-SMI: nationally agreed criteria for training and competencies in CBTp and FI Competency Frameworks for Psychosis, Bi-Polar Disorder and Personality Disorder. www.ucl.ac.uk/core/
Competence Framework for Psychological Interventions for people with Psychosis / Bipolar Disorder (Roth & Pilling, 2013) Modular training outline From awareness supervision & service change www.ucl.ac.uk/co RE
CBTp in SLaM Demonstration Site Individualised and formulation based, but adheres to published manuals and the CORE CBTp competence framework (Roth and Pilling, 2013). Therapists are trained to competence, using assessments of adherence and competence. Supervision provided weekly to fortnightly in groups of 3-6 therapists for 1.5 hours, with fortnightly to monthly individual supervision. Supervisors are senior clinicians with experience of training therapists and of providing therapy within RCTs.
Levels of training for psychosis
Assessment of therapist adherence Cognitive Therapy Scale Revised (CTS-R) (Young and Beck, 1980; Blackburn et al., 2001) 11 items measuring quality of key CBT skills e.g. Agenda setting, guided discovery, homework Score of 3 or more indicates competence Revised-Cognitive Therapy for Psychosis Adherence Scale (R-CTPAS) (Startup et al., 2002; Rollinson et al., 2008) 21 items rated for frequency during each therapy session 4 sections : Insight orientated; assessment and formulation; active cognitive strategies; relapse prevention
Competence outcomes for clinicians Comparison of ratings of 23 paired audio recordings from first formative to summative in students successfully completing course Cognitive Therapy Scale (score of 3 indicates competence in CBT) First formatives: majority of items scored <3 Summatives: all items score >3 Significant improvements on eliciting feedback, collaboration, strategy for change, application of CBT techniques, homework CT Psychosis Adherence Scale 40% increase in psychosis-specific content in sessions (i.e. 24 minute increase)
Clinical outcomes for clients Jolley et al. (in press, Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy) 20 clients receiving CBTp therapy from 9 therapists undertaking PG diploma in CBTp Pre-post effect sizes for change in psychotic symptoms was large (d=1.0) and medium (d=0.6) for affect Possible to train therapists to RCT-therapist standard Effect sizes suggest that training costs may be offset by clinical benefits to clients
CBTp Distance Learning Development of a distance learning version of the PG Dip in CBTp to enable : Increased access to UK clinicians Increased access to international clinicians Increased flexibility for clinicians in training
Conclusions from SLaM Site NICE-recommended individual psychological therapy can be successfully delivered in routine services In our demonstration site, primary facilitators were: ring-fenced investment in competent therapy provision ring-fenced time for therapists to deliver therapies adequate supervision, training and CPD trained independent assessors established service pathways & governance structures strong clinical leadership & management Our framework is potentially replicable to inform wider implementation in other services.
