Making Individual Placement & Support (IPS) work in Oxleas and East London

Date: Jan 2018 - Mar 2020

Client: Centre for Mental Health

The Centre for Mental Health is the UK leader in supporting local implementation of Individual Placement & Support (IPS), a model of supported employment for people using specialist mental health care services.



Working with InHealth Associates, we investigated what worked when implementing IPS in Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust and East London NHS Foundation Trust.



Through in-depth interviews with staff, we identified the factors that contributed to success and sustainability.



"We were extremely happy with the quality of Rachel’s work for Centre for Mental Health in producing an independent evaluation.



Her work was carried out with appropriate care, including interviews with people experiencing mental health difficulties.



The outcome was a clear, detailed and insightful report which will be extremely useful to us and our partners in developing and improving services.



We look forward to working with Rachel again and would unhesitatingly recommend her to others".
