This resource outlines practical steps for commissioners and service providers to support them to reduce mental health inequalities in their local areas. The four steps are to identify the inequalities, design new ways of doing things, evaluate those ideas, and deliver improvements. The resource aims to ensure that mental health care and support is: high quality; appropriate to meet needs; accessible to all, including people with protected characteristics; supportive, compassionate and fair; and effective. It provides detailed guidance and methods on how to identify and reduce inequalities related to mental health support, care and treatment. It will also support commissioners and service providers to evaluate and review their services, to measure the impact of changes and to identify areas for improvement. It contains links to supporting documents, including the case for change, positive practice examples and details of work taking place across other organisations. The resource was commissioned by NHS England to support delivery of the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health and the NHS Long Term Plan. (Edited publisher abstract)

Common mental health disorders, such as depression, generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder, may affect up to 15% of the population at any one time. They vary considerably in their severity but all of these conditions can be associated with significant long-term disability. The vast majority of depression and anxiety disorders that are diagnosed are treated in primary care. However, many individuals do not seek treatment and common mental health disorders often go unrecognised. Recognition of anxiety disorders is particularly poor in primary care and only a small minority of people experiencing anxiety disorders ever receive treatment. This quick reference clinical guideline offers evidence-based advice on the care and treatment of adults who have common mental health disorders, with a particular focus on primary care. It brings together advice from existing guidelines and combines it with new recommendations on access to care, assessment and developing local care pathways for common mental health disorders. It also provides advice on treatment and referral.

This National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) clinical guideline presents recommendations about the treatment and care of people with specific diseases and conditions in the NHS in England and Wales. This guidance represents the view of NICE, which was arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. Healthcare professionals are expected to take it fully into account when exercising their clinical judgement. However, the guidance does not override the individual responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or guardian or carer, and informed by the summary of product characteristics of any drugs they are considering. Implementation of this guidance is the responsibility of local commissioners and/or providers. Commissioners and providers are reminded that it is their responsibility to implement the guidance, in their local context, in light of their duties to avoid unlawful discrimination and to have regard to promoting equality of opportunity.

The printed version of the full evidence-based clinical guideline on psychosis with coexisting substance misuse (Clinical Guideline 120), commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). Developed by a multidisciplinary team the guidelines aim to provide advice on providing and planning high-quality care for people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse while also emphasising the importance of the experience of care for people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse and their families, carers or significant others. The first three chapters provide a general introduction to guidelines and the topic of psychosis with coexisting substance misuse, and to the methods used to develop this guideline. Chapters 4 to 9 provide the evidence that underpins the recommendations. These cover assessment and care pathways; service delivery models (including integrated services and inpatient care); psychological and psychosocial interventions; pharmacological and physical interventions; and young people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse. A chapter also cover the experiences of service users, their carers and their families, including personal accounts and a review of the qualitative literature. The final chapter provides a summary of recommendations. The accompanying CD-ROM provides information about the clinical studies included and excluded and further details of the methodology. The guidance is relevant for those providing primary, community, secondary, tertiary and other healthcare professionals working directly with adults and young people with psychosis and coexisting substance misuse.
