Two of our fantastic Champions were involved in the consultation that led to the production of this document by the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust.  It is a guide looking at how the involvement of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups can be increased in the way mental health services are designed, managed, delivered and monitored in the East Midlands.

The guide is available as a download from the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust website.  (It’s the second PDF file down).

Helen and Tanimola have been fantastic members of the team at Bright Ideas, helping to develop work with their well honed skills and expertise.  They have both begun new jobs at the start of this new year, Helen here in Nottingham and Tani all the way down in Exeter.  We will be staying in touch, but want to wish them all the best in their new roles and thank them for all their hard work.  We will miss you!
