Demand, Capacity and Flow collaborative

The broad aims of the Demand, Capacity and Flow QI Collaborative will be to:

  • support community and inpatient teams within mental health services to understand demand, develop and test change ideas to improve flow, reduce waiting lists and manage demand in creative ways.
  • provide opportunities for peer-to-peer sharing and learning through regular in-person events.

The programme will run from January 2023 to July 2024 and is open to all organisations that provide mental health care (including NHS, third sector and private providers) and will be supported by National Improvement Lead, Dr Amar Shah, Director of the NCCMH Tom Ayers, and NCCMH’s team of QI coaches who have supported the work on restrictive practice, sexual safety, suicide prevention and advancing mental health equality (AMHE).

How to register

Applications can be made using this registration form that includes an information sheet that we recommend you read to ensure you are in the position to apply.

The fee for membership will be £7,000 + VAT per team for the entire collaborative, with a 10% discount if an organisation signs up more than one team.
