Description

Community Mental Health Services in Islington are transforming. Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) are seeking to commission Voluntary Community Sector (VCS) partners to work with us in Islington to deliver this ambition of a radically redesigned offer for people who are living with moderate to severe mental illness and complex needs. We want to offer a truly integrated service with secondary mental health, the VCS, primary care, social care and community assets and physical health provision working together to support the whole population through a combination of prevention, supporting people to stay well and responsiveness to changes in need.
