Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP) provides healthcare for people with serious mental illness, learning disabilities and autism in inpatient and community-based settings. We service a population of around 1.8 million across Bath and North East Somerset (BaNES), Swindon and Wiltshire, and Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire.
As a member of the South West Regional Provider Collaborative which covers those specialised services commissioned by NHS England. We are committed to working closely with our partners to shape the two ICSs to ensure the best care is provided to the populations we serve, and decisions are taken at a local level.
As we operate in increasingly integrated systems, our partnerships with both statutory and voluntary sector organisations will become ever more important.
We already work with a number of these organisations, including community physical health providers and specialist mental health charities, and we will continue to develop our relationships with them to provide more joined up care and treatment for the people we serve.
