National i-THRIVE Community of Practice Event, November 2022
Supporting Shared Decision Making and Personalised Care through
Integrated Front Doors
Due to popular demand, the National i-THRIVE team will be presenting on the hot topic of Integrated Front Doors at the next Community of Practice event.
In the ICS design framework (NHS, 2021), it is stated that Inregrated Front Doors are key to allow partners to reach their shared goals of:
- improving outcomes and tackling inequalities
- enhancing productivity and ensuring best use of resources
- strengthening local communities.
Integrated Front Doors will therefore support collaboration in order to achieve the vision set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.
It is hoped that this CoP event will be face-to-face in London in early November, with details to follow soon. Keep a look out for further comms in next month's newsletter!
As we are committed to increasing the diversity of our speakers and events, we are particularly keen to offer presenting opportunities and training to those from minority groups. Please get in touch if you would be interested in presenting on this topic.
We would especially love to hear from children and young people's services offering co-produced Integrated Front Doors, in line with the principles of the THRIVE Framework.

The London Region Community of Practice (CoP) for Family Hubs
On Wednesday 13th July the National Centre for Family Hubs, the Anna Freud Centre, hosted the first face to face meeting of this CoP. The event was well attended and participants were interested to hear about the i-THRIVE Framework, which all agreed ‘fits’ well with the family hub approach and could be one way of sustaining a systems wide approach to working with families. Other agenda items included feedback on the early years review commissioned by London Councils and undertaken by ISOS, an update from DfE, as well as practice examples including – new digital solutions work in Tower Hamlets, the virtual family hub offer being developed by Barnardo’s, the CONNECT service delivered by For Babys Sake and OUR Time - the charity that helps children and young people who have a parent with a mental illness, bringing children and parents together in groups.
The next meeting of this group is scheduled for Tuesday 4th October from 09.00 – 12.30, where the focus will be on co-production of the family hub approach.

CORC Paediatrics Outcome Monitoring Data
- Two papers recently published with guidance on choosing and using outcome measures in paediatrics settings, enabling awareness of mental and emotional support to be factored in alongside the physical outcomes
- Paper 1:
Children and Young People’s Mental Health Outcome Measures in Paediatrics. Discusses how paediatricians can select, administer and interpret outcome measures used in children and young people’s mental health services, for the holistic recovery of the child. Practical guidance is also given for when paediatricians are required to refer to specialist mental health services.
- Paper 2:
Goal-Based Measurement in Paediatric Settings: Implications for Practice. Guide to working with goals with young people with physical illnesses and health conditions. This includes key considerations and suggested phrasing to introduce and work with young people’s goals, with a focus on what recovery means for each young person.
