Gary Nixon, Project Lead - Care Pathways and Virginia Goncalves, Consultant Psychiatrist, Berkshire Healthcare NHS FT
Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust provides community, Mental Health and Learning Disability Services for the populations of Berkshire (880,000). In the summer of 2012 it the Trust set the objective of developing a series of Care Pathways that relate to Payment by Results and associate clusters and that have broad clinical consensus within BHFT Mental Health Services.

The webinar will cover:
• The process used to get clinical staff involved
• The challenges in reconciling cluster currencies and diagnostic currencies
• The reference points used in developing and care pathways
• A description of the model used to describe cluster based care pathways
• Provide working examples of care pathway descriptions
