1. The Skills Consortium The proposed skills framework West Midlands workforce consultation event 1 st November 2010

2. Overview The context of workforce development-established and emerging The Skills Consortium & the evolution of the skills framework The framework Resources & next steps

3. Context: Suite of evidence-based clinical guidance 2007 NICE: National Clinical Practice Guideline No. 51. Drug Misuse: Psychosocial Interventions Orange: NICE and expert consensus

4. Contexts: Psychosocial Interventions Pharmacological treatments for cannabis and stimulant misuse are not well developed, and therefore psychosocial interventions are the mainstay of effective treatment. (NICE 2007) Treatment for drug misuse should always involve a psychosocial component. (DoH 2007) Psychological treatment has a role as important as substitute prescribing in treating opiate-dependent clients…. (NTA 2005) Both pharmacological interventions and psychosocial treatment are more effective when they work together in an integrated and harmonised manner. (DoH 2006)

5. NICE 51 Key priorities for implementation Brief interventions (structured feedback advice / motivational enhancement) Facilitated self-help Contingency Management (CM) - targeting drug use - targeting physical health compliance Behavioural couples therapy CBT for common mental illness (anxiety disorders and depression)

6. Orange went further- based on expert consensus Motivational interviewing Contingency Management (attendance, behavioural change and BBV) Low intensity interventions for common mental illness: Computer-based CBT Guided Self-Help Relaxation techniques Relapse prevention Mapping Techniques Community Reinforcement Approach Behavioural Couples Therapy Social Behaviour and Network Therapy CBT for depression and anxiety Psychodynamic Therapy

7. Does adding psychosocial therapy to OST improve outcomes? Ball and Rosss study of methadone programs (1990) McLellan et al (1993) conducted a 24-week clinical trial involving 3 treatment groups: – methadone with minimal counselling – methadone plus moderate (i.e. more intensive) counselling – methadone plus enhanced counselling (including on-site medical/psychiatric, employment, and family therapy) NTORS – patients in MMT who received drug problem counselling sessions had significantly better heroin and cocaine outcomes than those receiving no counselling + NICE

8. The evidence generally indicates 3 key factors: Workers who have clear techniques achieve better outcomes Supervision and governance is key Outcomes are determined by the quality of the working alliance

9. Implementation Whatever the skills / potential of individual practitioners, the evidence suggests that the quality of the organisation has a more substantial impact on effective outcomes than either the intervention chosen or worker involved

10. Manualised therapy STICKING TO THE THERAPY MANUAL: A HAPPY MEDIUM WORKS BEST US study on dynamics of cocaine treatment found: counsellors who either strictly followed a counselling manual or largely ignored it had the worst outcomes departing from the therapeutic script without abandoning the overall structure seems a positive attribute. Barber J.P. et al., 2006

11. For the NTA- the three must dos 1.Organisational competence 2.Care coordination / case management competence 3.Deliver evidence based psycho-social interventions

12. The Skills Consortium and the evolution of the skills framework

13. A brief history of the consortium Convened to develop a sector led consensus on good practice and lead workforce development For the sector, by the sector Two large sector-wide stakeholder workshops in 2009 These tasked a smaller working group to develop the ideas and the constitution Build it and they will come Large stakeholder group endorsed the framework in July Executive now formed November website launch

14. Recovery orientated systems One of the key principles of a recovery-orientated model is it's integrated. That is, all of the constituent parts, all the various elements of a local system are co-coordinated, speak the same language, communicate with each other and have a congruous set of values and principles that orbit around the affirmative and empowering possibilities of recovery…. Every part of the system is involved in a collaborative effort to increase positive outcomes …….. allow greater flexibility and non-linear movement between system elements. NSPs in a recovery-orientated system, Stephen Bamber

15. From this…….to this……..

16. HR, MI, ITEP, CM….. recovery communities………

17. The roots of the framework Based on: Previous guidance (Care Planning Practice Guide in particular) NICE drug misuse guidance 2007 Clinical Guidelines Informed by emerging thinking on recovery and personalisation. It is also informed by ITEP, BTEI and Recovery, Engagement and Life Skills model developed by TCU. As interventions, approaches and technologies emerge it is anticipated that they can be absorbed by the framework.
