This site is the central point for all NHS QIS mental health projects and contains information, resources and updates on our work. All our mental health projects are listed on the left-hand side of the site. You will also find links to pieces of work across the wider mental health community in Scotland in order to share good practice and resources.

Nhs Quality Improvement Scotland's Mental Health Integrated Care Pathway (ICP) toolkit Log-on and find out more!

The information available covers a broad range of mental health care services and their associated data sources.

About UsWe are an established network of NHS and partner agency staff from all over Scotland, who are using Integrated Care Pathways in many different clinical areas. We meet regularly to organise support and training for other interested people. ICPUS aim to be aware of what ICPs have been, or are being, developed in Scotland and the UK and be a point of contact for help with your care pathways. ICPUS is steered by a core group, representing different health board areas and specialties within healthcare. ICPUS is a low/no budget organisation and we are happy to acknowledge financial support from healthcare managers within the Scottish pharmaceutical industry for specific educational meetings. This tends to be co-ordinated through the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industries (ABPI), and we acknowledge support from Lilly UK to establish our first website.

This site has been set up to support the vulnerable families pathway project. This multi-agency project is being led by NHS QIS on behalf of the Scottish Government and we are working with colleagues in other organisations such as social work, local authority, voluntary organisations, education etc. A draft framework has been developed which will aim to ensure that vulnerable children (from conception to age 3) and families in all parts of Scotland receive equity of support that is proportionate, effective and timely.
