This session takes place on Tuesday 8 April 2025, from 1pm to 2.30pm
Delivered as a webinar via Teams
This session is part of our SMD Learning Series.
This webinar will look at using patient and activity data, that is already collected, to identify severe and multiple disadvantage (SMD) and to analyse how people experiencing multiple barriers to successful outcomes access mental health support.
We will share our methodology, findings and proposed actions with you, as well as providing recommendations on how you can replicate this work within your own organisation.
SMD is difficult to identify and hard to formulate a consistent approach to. This work aims to start the conversation of why SMD matters and the ways we can collectively identify how vulnerable people move through support structures across the system.
Presenters:
- Sam Beard is an Advanced Data Analyst whose role is hosted by the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB. He works with the Changing Futures programme to identify those experiencing SMD and produce relevant and actionable insight across as many system partners as possible.
- Lori Edwards Suárez is a Principal Mental Health Transformation Analyst with Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Lori has worked as a dedicated mental health analyst since graduating university, initially for Liaison Psychiatry but now covers widely across Mental Health Transformation and Public Health. Recently, this has incorporated understanding SMD in mental health pathways.
- Laurie Hare Duke is a Public Health Data Analyst within Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and has a background in mental health research. He has been involved in profiling SMD patients within the Trust.
This session will be recorded and the materials later hosted through the NCVS website.
