Born in Bradford have been commissioned by the West Yorks ICS Perinatal Mental Health Steering Group to provide insight into inequalities in identification and treatment of perinatal mental health.
One component of this work requires that information hosted by various NHS trusts is brought together to reveal the perinatal mental health pathway for women across the whole system. We will first estimate prevalence of poor perinatal mental health (PMH) in each area, measured using a composite indicator created from the linked dataset: diagnostic codes, numeric scores, referrals to specialist services/support from specialist service. We then hope to stratify by characteristics known to contribute to inequality including ethnic group, level of deprivation and spoken English language ability. This work will be combined with outputs from concurrent work-packages to develop recommendations for adaptations needed to achieve equitable and appropriate access PMH services.
We will need to access and link information from the following organisations:
Airedale NHS Foundation Trust
Bradford Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust
Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust
Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust
Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust
A community mental health team like Counseling Now is a support service for individuals suffering from mental disorders. These services are not an alternative to a psychiatric hospital. However, they may be helpful in cases where a person is experiencing difficulties in daily life. To learn more about this type of service, continue reading this article. We hope this article has helped you better understand the importance of mental health services. There are many reasons why you may need them.
