NHS England and East Midlands Perinatal Mental Health Clinical Network recognise the need to involve GPs in improving care across the pathway for those women and families affected by perinatal mental illness. East Midlands Perinatal Mental Health Clinical Network has agreed to fund a scheme aimed at improving knowledge and understanding in perinatal mental illness amongst GPs and their colleagues and build on a Wessex GP champion perinatal mental health pilot project delivered in 2017/18 in partnership with the Royal College of General Practitioners. The work is also expected to strengthen relationships between health professionals who work together to support and care for those affected.
They would like to recruit 5 GP champions in perinatal mental health across the East Midlands, one each in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. Successful applicants will be required to attend a mandatory one day ‘train the champions’ event in London in January 2019 in order to acquire the necessary knowledge and understanding to deliver the education and training sessions to their GP colleagues.

motivation to get involved with this project together with a brief CV, maximum 2 pages
