HSJ Awards 2016: Services redesign

Sheffield Health and Social Care Foundation Trust - Transforming acute mental health care in Sheffield

Sheffield Heath and Social Care Foundation Trust overhauled the way it delivered mental health services in the Yorkshire city as acute bed occupancy was 120 per cent and large volumes of people were being placed elsewhere.

Length of stay dropped from 56 days to 31 on average, and one adult acute ward was able to be closed. A psychiatric intensive care unit with outdoor spaces and a sensory room opened in early 2016.

Judges praised the “impressive transformation” and noted “clear health economy benefits”.
