Provision of care in line with patient experience is driving changes in pathways, structures and the way services user interact with their treatment. Innovations and technologies as well as system led care also have an influence over the decision to update or revise a pathway, service or department.

This award will highlight existing and continuing successes in mental health services, celebrating the individuals, teams and organisations already delivering excellent value despite funding challenges. Judges are seeking entries from providers delivering substantive changes in the way their services users access care.
