spa at Together for Mental Wellbeing in Norfolk

Together for Mental Wellbeing provide "floating support" services across Norfolk, aiming to help people with mental health problems live independently. Workers at Together use spa not only to record referrals, but also for assessments, support plans, risk assessments and peer support, as well as all client contact relating to their service in East Anglia. “Since using spa, reports to commissioning bodies and head office can be done quickly and effectively.” says Jon Kingham, Together’s Project Manager for North Norfolk.

tmwk continue to support and develop spa, recently delivering straightforward recording of travelling and administration time. As Jon reports, “The excellent support team at tmwk respond promptly and professionally to any changes that need to be made as the service develops and innovates.”

Jon Kingham again: “Knowing the system meets NHS information governance standards gives our organisation and its stakeholders confidence in the service we provide.”
