Working in partnership
People, inclusion, and partnerships are at the heart of our strategy. Our mission is 'to be a centre of excellence for mental health, learning disability and neurodiversity'. This is so that we can improve the quality of life for the people we serve and create a great place to work.
We are an active member of Devon's Integrated Care System (ICS), which is a collaboration of health and social care organisations working together with a host of partners and local communities. We work alongside many different organisations and professions as we seek to deliver and commission excellent care and treatment - and our partnerships do not end at the borders of our county. We have longstanding collaborative arrangements for service delivery and commissioning with our partners across the South West region.
Our partnerships with local authorities, primary care networks, voluntary, charity, community and social enterprise sector organisations, acute hospitals, social care providers, the police, criminal justice system and commercial providers of healthcare are critical as we work to develop and improve our offer. Together we can ensure that the people who need our help are able to access our services quickly, get the care and treatment they need and are discharged safely.
Together
Our Together approach and ethos are an integral part of the way we do things and we strive to involve the people who user our services, families, carers, peer support workers and staff in every aspect of our work.
