Independent Mental Health Services Alliance calls in Westminster Advisers to deliver public affairs and communications advice.
The country's leading independent providers of mental health services have commissioned Westminster Advisers to work with government, parliament and the wider policy and media community to develop new ideas and approaches to meet the growing need for mental health services.
The Alliances comprises the largest providers of mental healthcare: Care UK, Castlebeck, Craegmoor, Cygnet Healthcare, Partnerships in Care and St. Andrews Healthcare. Collectively they runs more than 500 settings, meeting the health needs of more than 15,000 people.
Dominic Church, Managing Director of Westminster Advisers believes that the Alliance is in a unique position to support decision makers and improve the effectiveness of services:
"We are delighted to be working with the Independent Mental Health Services Alliance. The challenges facing mental health services in the coming year are significant. The Alliance exists to support policy makers and commissioners to overcome these challenges and deliver the best possible outcomes for people with mental health problems. To do this we will take advantage of the Alliance's combined expertise, proposing practical and positive solutions that will drive up the quality of services and improve outcomes for everyone."
