NHS Benchmarking Network Supports World Mental Health Day with Data Driven Insight and International Collaboration
In recognition of World Mental Health Day, the NHS Benchmarking Network (NHSBN) are raising awareness of mental health, our work to support quality improvement in service delivery through data transparency, and international collaboration to support global initiatives to continually improve access and care.
he London Mental Health Dashboard, developed by the Network in collaboration with Transformation Partners in Health and Care, London mental health leaders, and wider London stakeholders is an example of our partnership working to create accessible and comprehensive resources for understanding and improving mental health services
The ongoing partnership between the Network and stakeholders across London will continue to support the development and utility of resources to support service users and providers of London’s mental health services. This publicly accessible resource continues to attract local, national and international interest. You can explore the dashboard and access these resources at https://lmh.nhsbenchmarking.nhs.uk/home
Further, the Network continues to work in collaboration with international partners, the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL), to develop comparative metrics for both Adult Mental Health Services and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and support international discussion on data informed improvements. This international benchmarking program allows for the sharing of best practice and insights from diverse healthcare systems to improve mental health services internationally. Reports and outputs from this initiative can be found at https://www.nhsbenchmarking.nhs.uk/international
On World Mental Health Day, the Network is not only highlighting the importance of mental health but also demonstrating our commitment to improving mental health services through data transparency, international collaboration, and sharing of challenges and good practice. By providing valuable resources like the London Mental Health Dashboard and continuing to build our international partnerships with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL), we are supporting local, national and international efforts to improve mental health services for those that access and deliver care..
