Transforming adult mental health inpatient services – get involved

Share your experiences and views to help us deliver adult mental health services across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent

Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB) wants to hear your views following the recent publication of the Adult Mental Health Inpatient Services strategy for 2024 – 2027.

The strategy has been developed with system partner organisations, Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) and North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust (NSCHT), to ensure responsive mental health services that will focus on the wellbeing of patients and deliver joined-up care that reduces the need for inpatient admissions.

The ICB would like feedback from its communities across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent about adult mental health services to help it to deliver the best possible care for people with mental health needs. The ICB is running an online survey, open until Friday 14 March 2025, and will also hold a series of public involvement sessions in February – March 2025 where people will be able to give their feedback.  

The public involvement sessions will run on:

• Tuesday 4 February 2025 – 11am–12pm – online, via Microsoft Teams, for residents of South Staffordshire.
• Wednesday 12 February 2025 – 2–3pm – online, via Microsoft Teams, for residents of North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
• Thursday 20 February 2025 – 6–7pm – online, via Microsoft Teams, for residents of South Staffordshire.
• Monday 24 February 2025 – 6–7pm – online, via Microsoft Teams, for residents of North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
• Tuesday 25 February 2025 – 1–3pm, in-person, Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, St George’s Hospital, Stafford.
• Wednesday 5 March 2025 – 12–1:30pm, in-person, venue TBC, North Staffordshire.

Registration details will be released soon for the involvement events; to register your interest now, please email ssotics.comms@staffsstoke.icb.nhs.uk with the date and time of the session you are interested in attending. We will then contact you to register you for the session.
