NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board : Safe Place/Crisis Bed Service Market Engagement Event

The safe place/crisis bed model is not a new model and has been used for mental health patients for a number of years locally and nationally. There are also a number of models that have been developed specifically for learning disabilities and autism across other Integrated Care Systems nationally that have proved very successful. These models support individuals when they are reaching crisis and in most cases prevent admission into an inpatient setting. They can also prevent breakdown of existing placements/homes by allowing a short admission to assess and reformulate care and support plans to enable them to move back into their existing homes.<br/>The draft service specification will be circulated at the end of November for you to review.
