- Combined Healthcare’s plans centre on delivering a digital transformation programme with the Children and Young People (CYP) Directorate.

This self-referral approach improves recovery, and enables a person to seek prompt treatment at an early stage, and it also reduces the likelihood of lower degree problems becoming more severe.
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has long been a contentious and polarising issue in mental health care. Mental health nurses are regularly responsible for the care, treatment and care coordination of individuals with a diagnosis of ADHD. This means that mental health nurses are in one of the best positions to have a positive impact on the lives of people with ADHD. This article aims to be a refresher to mental health nurses of the lifetime health outcomes and risks associated with ADHD. This article discusses a multitude of factors, such as increased rates of substance abuse and addiction, higher instances of self-harm and suicide, reduced life expectancy, increased driving risk, poorer educational outcomes, and reduced professional outcomes. The role of the mental health nurse is central in supporting service users to seek appropriate, evidence-based treatment. Improving mental health nurses' understanding and information will enable practitioners to make informed decisions regarding the care and treatment of service users.

- Men are more reluctant than women to seek help for mood and mental health disorders. A literature search was carried out to identify barriers to help-seeking behaviour in men, the strategies they use that delay looking for assistance and the impact professionals' perceptions can have when men do seek assistance. Gender ideology and the associated beliefs men hold is the dominant barrier influencing help-seeking behaviour. Men often adopt an approach that delays the help-seeking process. Understanding this can provide an insight into the strategies often adopted by men in preference to seeking help from professionals. There is also unfortunately prevailing negativity in the perceptions of health care professionals that may have an impact on men accessing help. The article expands on these points and discusses how to apply current and evidence-based knowledge into practice. To read the full article, log in using your NHS OpenAthens details.
- The recovery agenda coupled with a moving of the alcohol and drug budget to local authority has diminished the amount of money provided to service provision. This has been a national picture, with GP-led shared care being the victim of the financial cuts in this area. This paper argues that this is a policy that really should be challenged, as the NHS is diminishing in the field of addictions and is affecting the quality of services provided. Valuable work will be lost for good, such as flexible and effective alcohol detoxifications that enable patients to achieve abstinence from alcohol. This primary care service is important to patients, and alcohol community detoxifications being lost is an example of what is being sacrificed unless professionals recognise that this policy shift has resulted in an overall poorer service and needs to be challenged.
