NHS England

Culture of Care Programme

We are delighted to be a delivery partner for NHS England's Culture of Care Programme. We will be working alongside Black Thrive Global and the National Confidential Inquiry into Suicide and Safety in Mental Health (NCISH) to support lead delivery partner the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH).

  • The Culture of Care Programme is part of NHS England's Quality Transformation Programme and launches in January 2024, with the scope of:

    • Coaching 200 inpatient wards and around 60 corporate teams across England to improve the culture of the care that they provide, in both NHS and private settings, supporting them to work to the NHS England Culture of Care standards. 

    • Providing executive coaching and reverse mentoring to Boards in all of those organisations. 

    • Supporting them to move away from risk-assessment tools to a holistic approach to safety on wards. 

    • Doing all of the above through a trauma-informed, autism-informed and racial equity perspective.

  • Neurodiverse Connection will be supporting lived experience in the programme governance.

    Our Lived Experience Advisors will be working with Quality Improvement Coaches and Senior Leaders to support change in mental health trusts across England.
