The PARTNERS2 programme
The PARTNERS2 programme is a primary care-based collaborative care model aimed to develop and evaluate collaborative care to address mental and physical care deficits for people with SMI already discharged from, or receiving low levels of, specialist care. Initial phases of the programme examined current care pathways, addressed trial science challenges and co-developed the intervention incorporating a coaching approach to ensuring focus of care is centred around the wishes of the individual, with additional motivational components to tackle physical health needs.
