Designing care for people living with both mental health problems and persistent back and neck pain
by Jenna Collins, Marketing and Communications Manager, Q Labs, The Health Foundation
In September 2018, the Q Improvement Lab (part of the Health Foundation) and Mind embarked on a year-long collaboration to understand how care can be improved across mental health and persistent back and neck pain.
The Q Lab and Mind have recently shared the first insights from 
this work, drawing on the experiences of over 100 collaborators to give an overview of why this challenge warrants attention and promising opportunities to improve care. A small number of organisations are now developing and testing ideas and the findings will be shared later this year.
