We’re proud to share this excellent feedback received for A, a Community Mental Health Nurse with our Dementia Home Treatment Service in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

“…His determination and dedication to find a solution for mum has been remarkable. Mum is now as good as she has been for years…none of this would have been possible without A. He has explained every medication option clearly…ensuring mum's full comprehension and understanding of each action he has taken. A has also been able to support me…[A] is someone who has actually listened to mum and treated her as someone who matters and is valued and respected.”

Congratulations A – thank you for your dedication to providing person-centred care, making life better for the communities we support.

A pioneering partnership providing specialist mental health care to military personnel is to continue being led by Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation NHS Trust (MPFT) following an announcement by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).

The MoD has commissioned MPFT to continue leading the NHS Joining Forces Network of seven NHS mental health trusts covering the UK. The network provides a dedicated NHS inpatient and psychological therapy service to serving military personnel across the country, with the aim of supporting them back into work.

The network, which has been led by MPFT since 2008 is overseen by healthcare professionals, many of whom have first-hand military experience alongside a special interest of the culture and sensitivities of military personnel. They work closely with the patient’s unit and the Department of Community Mental Health to aid recovery and ease of access to services.

Following a 12-month pilot, the network has recently introduced an online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tool as part of the defence occupational mental healthcare pathway, providing timely digital support for serving personnel.

This is complemented by an enhanced app designed for military personnel, offering improved education on potential conditions and clearer guidance on accessing care and support. The app is now available for Android devices via the Google Play Store, and can also be downloaded via the Apple Store.

Neil Carr, MPFT Chief Executive said: “We’re delighted to have been commissioned once again by the Ministry of Defence to continue leading the NHS Joining Forces Network. Over almost two decades, this innovative national partnership of NHS providers has helped to support thousands of serving personnel and veterans in their mental health recovery.

“We have enjoyed a fruitful and long-standing relationship with the MoD and are grateful to be able to continue leading the life-changing work being done within the network. We’re also excited to continue working with our NHS partners in ensuring the service adapts and evolves to meet the needs of our serving personnel.”

Lt Col Ace Chitembwe, speaking on behalf of the MoD said: “The Defence Medical Services is pleased to confirm the recommissioning of Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust as lead provider for the NHS Joining Forces Network, building on a trusted partnership to deliver specialist mental healthcare — including inpatient care, psychological therapies and personalised recovery support — helping us to ensure the wellbeing of serving Armed Forces personnel more quickly and effectively.”

Over the next 6 weeks, some of our clinicians are testing a new technology called Ambient Voice Technology (AVT) in some of our services.

AVT works by safely recording conversations during your appointment. This means clinicians can spend less time writing notes and more time focusing on you.

It won’t be used in every appointment, and it is your choice whether you would like it to be used. Our clinicians will be happy to discuss this with you and answer any questions before you decide.

To find out more about our trial of AVT and how we will keep your information safe, please speak to your clinician or visit: https://www.mpft.nhs.uk/service-users-and-carers/ambient-voice-technology

💬 “If you speak to children of the Windrush generation they will say they were always told they had to do better and had to work harder. I’ve worked very hard.”

In Autumn 2025, we spoke with Shelly-Anne, a senior nurse in Leicester, where she reflected on her career journey, the importance of supporting diverse communities, and her hopes for the future.
