The Department of Health appoints CAPITA to manage new certification scheme for Health and Social Care informationThe Department of Health (DH) has appointed Capita to manage a new certification scheme – The Information Standard – as part of a drive to ensure that the public and patients have access to good quality information that will help them make confident and informed decisions about their health and social care. The Information Standard, formerly known as the Information Accreditation Scheme, will be launched later this summer. The scheme will help people make informed decisions on their care and the care of their families by making it easy to identify information that is consistent, reliable and from a trustworthy source. |

Welcome to the National BME Mental Health Network (NBMEMHN) |
|
The National BME Mental Health Network (BMEMHN) was offically launched in September 2004 at The Afiya Trust’s annual 2 day conference held in Manchester. It was felt that there was a need to establish a national network which highlights the major concerns for black and minority ethnic mental health service users and organisations. The Network now has over 300 members who consist of BME service users, carers, voluntary sector workers, senior mental health professionals, legal representatives and professional writers.
Aims and ObjectivesOur aim is to reduce inequality and promote good practice in mental health for black and minority ethnic groups To bring together a collection of key strengths, knowledge and skills from those involved and affected by mental health within the black and minority ethnic community To speak as ‘one voice’ our concerns of the over-representation of bme communities within the mental health system
