As part of our commitment to engaging with local leaders, elected representatives, opinion formers and stakeholders, Combined Healthcare was delighted to welcome new local Members of Parliament, Gareth Snell MP and Adam Jogee MP to visit the Trust, see first-hand our outstanding services and meet with a selection of our frontline staff.
Gareth and Adam were welcomed by our Chair Janet Rogers, Chief Executive Dr Buki Adeyemo and Chief Operating Officer Ben Richards.
During their visit, the local MPs were able to talk with our staff in the 24×7 Crisis Care Centre. The Crisis Care Centre opened in October 2019 and is situated at The Harplands Hospital. The Centre brought together many NHS specialists within the Trust to offer crisis care services for individuals of all ages, 24/7 and 365 days a year.
The Crisis Care Centre is an essential component of the urgent care pathway and provides an all age single point of access to mental health services whilst also offering an immediate response for individual’s experiencing a mental health crisis either by telephone or in person to ensure individuals are signposted to the most appropriate pathway to meet their needs. The below services are based at the Crisis Care:
• All Age Access
• Home Treatment Team
• STR Pathway
They aso toured Ward 3 – part of the multi million investment in new faciltiies being delivered through Project Chrysalis.
Trust Chair, Janet Dawson, said:
“It was a delight to welcome Gareth and Adam to Combined. Having the understanding and support of our local Members of Parliament is so valued by us and it was great that they wanted to take the time so early in the new Parliament to come and visit our staff.”
