First at HMP Belmarsh in 2017 which was a first for NHSE (London Region) and a model which other services built on, for us followed by HMP Isis 2018 and HMP Wandsworth 2019.

There are core principles, however, how these are achieved are bespoke to the local healthcare and prison team during the model implementation:
Patient focused with health promotion at the heart of our care

Designing services which meet the unique needs of the prison

A no exclusions model that ensures everyone with mental health needs is managed within the step care model

Being highly supportive of clinical and prison staff with training, support enabling the team to work smarter and as part of an effective multi-disciplinary team
