Welcome to CSIP North West
The Care Services Improvement Partnership (CSIP) was created in 2005 by integrating a number of initiatives supporting the development of services to help improve people’s lives. There are eight Regional Development Centres, including CSIP North West.
Accountable to the Department of Health (DH) and NHS North West, CSIP North West supports the implementation of national policy priorities at a regional level. We work with communities, systems and organisations that are engaged with health and social care needs to promote to support the improvement of, and innovation in, local services.
Our four core programmes for delivery are:
• Mental Health (National Institute for Mental Health – NIMHE)
• Social Care Programme
• Health Offender Partnerships
• Children, Young People and Families
CSIP North West recently hosted a Local Area Agreement (LAA) well-being workshop with Government Office North West to progress local well-being models. This included exploring definitions, measures and interventions as part of developing comprehensive and strategic approaches to improving wellbeing. The New Economics Foundation provided a useful input on indicators, launching their new report in the region on measuring well-being. Read more about the workshop and other well-being initiatives....

A number of agencies currently provide services to some but not all children and young people with palliative care needs in the North West. These services are provided from across the statutory and voluntary sector, by both children's and adult services but at the present time there is very little commissioning of these services by PCTs and it is a matter of chance whether children with palliative care needs and their families receive any services to support them during this difficult time. Read more about the networks....
CSIP North West produces a bi-monthly newletter "Executive Brief" which is to keep you informed about work that CSIP North West is carrying out to improve services on key strategic policy within the health and social care arena in the North West region. View the latest issue here.
