NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I) have published the community mental health framework for adults and older adults, which describes the NHS long term plan’s vision for a place-based community mental health model in more detail, and how the NHS can modernise community mental health services to shift to whole person, whole population health approaches. 

This briefing summarises key points from the framework.

If you have any comments, or would like to discuss this please contact Ella Fuller, NHS Providers Policy Adviser.
