The Advancing Mental Health Equality Collaborative is an innovative 3-year quality improvement programme led by the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health (NCCMH). The collaborative was launched in July 2021 and involves 18 organisations across the UK who, with quality improvement support from the NCCMH, are working to understand the needs of their population and identify communities at risk of experiencing inequality to improve access, experience and outcomes of mental health care, support, and treatment for those populations.
