Co-designing Mental Health Services: An Evaluation of the Experiences of Black and Asian Communities in Bradford and its Impact on their Care

这个跨学科和合作的学生将评估共同设计在发展新的心理健康服务中的作用。这是布拉德福德地区保健NHS基金会信托基金和布拉德福德大学健康研究学院之间的合作。它体现了我们对改善心理健康不平等率最高的边缘化社区的福祉和健康的共同承诺。该研究将重点关注黑人和亚裔心理健康服务使用者和护理人员在共同设计过程中的经验，以及这对他们对服务模式和所接受的护理的信任和满意度的影响。这是精神保健服务去殖民化的重要组成部分。我们预计，未来服务用户如何参与协同设计，将对当地、区域和国家层面产生实际影响。成功的申请人将完全嵌入布拉德福德地区护理NHS基金会信托（BDCT）作为精神健康领导团队的组成部分，评估服务方法的影响和作为NHS长期计划一部分的共同设计的有效性。他们将与布拉德福德地区的利益相关者合作，通过访谈、焦点小组和调查获得反馈，以评估共同设计对社区态度和服务满意度的影响。健康不平等是布拉德福德和西约克郡综合护理系统的优先领域。这项研究不仅将为BDCT未来的共同设计途径提供信息，而且还将为整个网络中所有五个NHS信托机构提供信息，具有全国性的适用性和重要性，特别是对其他具有类似高度民族和种族多样性和贫困水平的卫生保健当局。

This interdisciplinary and collaborative studentship will assess the role of co-design in the development of new mental health services. It is a collaboration between the Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust and the Faculty of Health Studies at the University of Bradford. It embodies our joint commitment to improving the wellness and health of marginalised communities who face the highest rates of mental health inequality.The studentship will focus on the experience of Black and Asian mental health service users and carers in the co-design process, and the impact this has on their trust in, and satisfaction with the service model and the care they receive. This constitutes an essential part of de-colonising mental health services. We anticipate real world impact at a local, regional and national level in how service users engage in co-design in the future.The successful applicant will be fully embedded within Bradford District Care NHS Foundation Trust (BDCT) working as an integral part of the mental health leadership team, evaluating the impact of the services' approach and effectiveness in co-design as part of the NHS Long Term Plan. They will work with stakeholders across the Bradford district to gain feedback via interviews, focus groups and surveys to assess the impact of co-design on community attitudes and service satisfaction.Health inequality is a priority area in both Bradford and West Yorkshire Integrated Care System. The study will not only inform the BDCT future pathways of codesign, but all five NHS trusts across the network, with national applicability and importance, particularly for other Health Care Authorities with similarly high levels of ethnic and racial diversity, and poverty.
