The Inpatient Quality Transformation Programme (IPQT) is a national initiative aimed at improving the quality and safety of care in mental health, learning disability, and autism services. By partnering with patients, families, clinicians, systems, providers, and other stakeholders, the programme builds on existing good practices to enhance care.

The programme challenges Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to create innovative and visionary care models for inpatient services in mental health, learning disability, and autism. The goal is to ensure that people who need these services can access inclusive, safe, personalised, and therapeutic care in the least restrictive setting possible, and that care is available close to their loved ones and support networks.

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin ICB’s IPQT programme incorporates the 5 programme themes and the responsibilities for delivery as set out below.

The plan covers:

• Our approach
