The objectives and self-assessment tool included within this guide were originally created by Christine Camacho, public health registrar at Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. We would like to extend huge thanks to Christine for her time and dedication to creating this resource. NHS Providers was responsible for the drafting, testing and dissemination of the final product.

We collected feedback from trusts from a range of provider settings to ensure the guide is relevant to all sectors. We appreciate the expert recommendations and feedback from trusts that have shaped this guide.
