BHR CCGs and NELFT are currently working together on the transformation of the IAPT Talking Therapies service across Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge.The new model will look at making the service more accessible and increasing the treatment options available to patients, including a digital offer. The new model will also look at the most appropriate times and locations for service delivery, including greater integration into primary care, where possible.
We are also committed to bringing more capacity into the service to ensure that waiting times are reduced for patients.
We will be carrying out engagement with you in February through the Networks to inform this work.
In the meantime, we are keen to see increased referrals from practices to the IAPT service. For more information, including the online referral form, visit theĀ IAPTĀ Talking Therapies page.
