It will be a vital tool in extracting the value of social care data in other transformational projects like the new social care client-level dataset.

The project will deliver two phases: Alpha and Beta, building on the 2023 discovery findings. The Alpha phase will prototype solutions to test technical and user requirements, validate the vision, develop a roadmap, and look at expansion possibilities.

Raj Malhi, Head of Strategy and Data at DHSC, said, “We’re really looking forward to working with Made Tech on this programme. Their knowledge of social care data and expertise in managing health data will bring valuable insights and ensure success.”

Hazel Jones, Director of Health and Care at Made Tech, added, “We are passionate about using our skills to improve data insights and decision-making in the health and care sector. We’re excited to support the DHSC team on this important programme.”

Entering and receiving a High Commendation celebrates On Your Mind Glos and its role in strengthening the healthcare system.

On Your Mind Glos, the online mental health support finder, acts as a single source of truth for the support available for young people’s mental health. It’s now easier to understand, find and access over 100 mental health support services and gives young people more choice and control in their care. For health practitioners it provides accurate advice and signposting to services.

Helen Ford, Programme Director at NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board, says: “We are proud that On Your Mind Glos has been recognised by the HSJ Partnership Awards. Because of the digital tool finder, more children and young people in Gloucestershire can get the right care for them, at the right time.”

Sam Menter, Founder and Managing Director at Mace & Menter, adds: “This is a great example of the impact working in a user centred way can have. The NHS team approached the project with open minds and let the insight from research and co-design define the strategic direction, which achieved great results. It was a pleasure to work with both the NHS team and the Made Tech team.”

HSJ editor Alastair McLellan comments: “The work of On Your Mind Glos has been recognised in an outstanding field of nominees, each showcasing the very best collaborations and innovations in the healthcare sector today.

The national healthcare sector has faced countless pressures over the past 12 months – yet the standard and positivity of this partnership has highlighted the enduring dedication to improving patient outcomes.

The judging panel comprised a diverse range of highly regarded figures across the NHS and wider healthcare sector. To be shortlisted as a finalist for this award, despite tough competition from a pool of brilliant applications, is a mark of real achievement for NHS Gloucestershire, Made Tech and Mace & Menter. They have been selected based on their diligence, ambition and the positive impact that the project has had on both practitioners and patients within the healthcare industry.  

In early 2022, Made Tech and Mace & Menter were commissioned to work alongside internal NHS Gloucestershire teams to build an in-house solution for children and young people’s mental health services. Made Tech provided the digital technology skills, Mace & Menter applied experience of service design and user centred design and NHS Gloucestershire brought the subject matter expertise.

In February this year, NHS Gloucestershire launched the output of this collaboration – the digital support finder, On Your Mind Glos.
