The IAPT Plus Early Intervention Service provides mental health services in Oldham, Tameside, and Glossop. Oldham has high levels of income deprivation and over 50% of patients present with mental health issues. The service offers drop-in sessions, active monitoring sessions using guided self-help, stress management courses, talking therapies, and community partnerships. Active monitoring allows patients to access 15-minute sessions weekly with the same practitioner to address issues like stress, low mood, and anxiety. This reduced the need for GP and out-of-hours services while teaching new skills. Partnerships have expanded access to mental health practitioners in 75% of GP surgeries by 2017.

10. “These sessions have come at
just the right time in my life. I
am extremely grateful for the
collaboration between TOG
Mind and the NHS, also the
provision and easy access route
via GP surgeries.”

12. "Since the Active Monitoring
service started in our practice it
has benefitted many of my
patients. They have appreciated
the ease of access; I have been
able to give them an
appointment before they leave
me. With the service being
located in our surgery patients
have not had to travel as far to
be seen.”
Dr Keith Jeffery, Failsworth
Group Practice.
