IAPT Long Term Conditions

Living Well Consortium (LWC) are proud to secure the delivery of the IAPT LTC service across Birmingham and Solihull.

To kickstart the programme we will cover practices in areas of Erdington, East Ward, Kings Norton, West Birmingham and Solihull.

Our aim for the next 2 years is to cover all PCN’s for Birmingham and Solihull and to ensure all relative users have appropriate access to the IAPT LTC service.

Interventions

We will deliver a range of interventions that are tailored to the needs of the client.

CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy)
Health & Wellbeing programmes including self-guided support
Wellbeing groups or coping groups
Information and support in living with LTC and MUS

Waiting times

Our waiting time are 2 to 4 weeks.

Our clinically trained IAPT practitioners (Talking Therapists) and Health Psychologists, located within or very close to the GP’s surgeries will deliver this service. All therapist are fully qualified with the LTC top training from Sheffield University.

The referrals will be generated by working with GP’s and through the MDT pathway. We are already part of the OMNIA MDT in the East and this has been an effective way of working to identify the needs of service users for the most appropriate therapy.

We accept self-referrals, this will be done via an assessment to ensure the service users are appropriate for the LTC pathway, confirming details with the GP before an intervention is proposed.
