Mental Health Transformation Project

Dorset HealthCare requires qualified providers to participate in supporting the design of the service specification for the Mental Health Integrated Community Care Universal model. The MHICC programme is a large and complex transformation programme that has to-date focused on co-production, stakeholder engagement and collaborative design of a new model and pathways. Central to the success of the MHICC programme is collaborative and partnership working across the Health, Local Authority, and Voluntary and Community sectors.

After over two years of design and co-production work, a proposed service model has now emerged for a new universal mental health service - the first of its kind in Dorset. The aim of the universal mental health offer will be to support people with their mental health and wellbeing, be easy to access and open to all who want to use it (over the age of 18), with an emphasis on providing early help and prevention.
