15. “Not sure how you are going to meet your target” Be in your interest to tighten up referral criteria have less people referred Really hard to describe what we do under one model The data reports we get are wrong Ownership Ensuring people get the therapy that will most benefit them Rubbish in - rubbish out What you may hear…

16. What you need to remember • Priority is the person being seen • Fear of lifting the stone • Different pressures • How to measure the therapeutic relationship • Positioning of psychological therapies over other intervention/ treatment • Fidelity to psychological model • People don’t always “get better” • Breadth of change - It’s not about you • Care and understand what it must feel like to be on a waiting list • Different languages people use

17. Being grounded… • How many people need psychological therapies? • How many people are referred for them? • How long have they been waiting? • What are they waiting for? • Why that therapy? • And is the / has the therapy made a difference?

18. Learning to date • The data now matters to everyone – the service users, the teams, the organisation • The value of the right level of oversight (ie project sponsor to make things happen, assistant to take pressure off clinicians and who can deliver quickly) • Strengthened relationships and sustainable skills and interfaces with other projects • DCAQ not a one-off – model for delivery of A12

19. Outcome • How many people need psychological therapies? • How many people are referred for them? • How long have they been waiting? • What are they waiting for? • Why that therapy? • And is the / has the therapy made a difference? • We will be able to answer that question for East and Midlothian • Actively review the dataset – and assess fitness for purpose
