A life-changing provider collaborative offering ground-breaking care for people with an eating disorder is celebrating after scooping a staggering THREE regional wins at the NHS Parliamentary Awards 2022.

HOPE (Healthy Outcomes for People with Eating disorders) Adult Eating Disorder Provider Collaborative is now through to the grand final after getting the backing of a staggering 14 MPs from across the SE and SW.

HOPE (Healthy Outcomes for People with Eating disorders) Adult Eating Disorder Provider Collaborative, led by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust, has been named the regional winner for both the South East and South West in the NHS Parliamentary Awards 2022.

It is believed to be the first time an entry has scooped the regional win in more than one geography.

The HOPE (Healthy Outcomes for People with Eating Disorders) Adult Eating Disorder Provider Collaborative brings together NHS trusts and an independent provider in Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Gloucester and BaNES (Bath and North East Somerset), Swindon and Wiltshire and is led by Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.

It has pioneered the implementation of a revolutionary new and compassionate treatment model for people suffering with extreme, life-threatening eating disorders.

HOPE adapted NICE approved Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Eating disorder (CBTE) treatment into Integrated CBTE (I-CBTE), an innovative approach combining a time-limited, planned admission of 13 weeks, with the goal of full weight restoration, seven weeks’ day treatment and ongoing outpatient CBTE.

The treatment model was co-designed and co-produced by a multi-disciplinary team along with patients, families and carers who considered every aspect, from the way eating food in the dining room happens right through to patients developing their own formulation and, in essence, becoming their own therapists.

Of 120 I-CBTE patients who took part 70% maintained healthy weight without binging or purging compared to just 5% of patients receiving traditional treatment after one year. Only 14% of patients receiving I-CBTE were readmitted to hospital compared to 60% of patients receiving traditional treatment. The model is endorsed by NICE, and Royal College of Psychiatrists and is supported by NHS England SE and SW, the provider collaborative and partners. It has been showcased widely and is expected to be implemented by other services nationally and internationally.

NHS Parliamentary Award judges heard that by focusing on the patient and their wider circumstances, the collaborative’s approach enables people to recover and thrive close to their home, friends, family and as part of their community.

Naming HOPE Provider Collaborative as the regional winner in both the South East and the South West – and shortlisting for the final in London – judges said: “The results are hugely impressive, helping far more people maintain healthy weights and leading to far fewer hospital readmissions than traditional treatments. It truly is a ‘hope programme’.”

Dr Agnes Ayton, clinical director of HOPE Provider Collaborative, I-CBTE study lead and chair of the Eating Disorders Faculty at the Royal College of Psychiatrists said: “I am very proud to see this wonderful recognition of our work which pioneered the integrated CBTE approach in the NHS and being able to demonstrate benefits to patients. This work would not have been possible without the support, the compassion and commitment of many people to improving outcomes for patients with severe eating disorders.”

Senior modern matron and Provider Collaborative Quality Lead, Sharon Ryan, said: “It is wonderful to see HOPE provider collaborative’s innovative work, and the hard work of all our colleagues, across two regions recognised by the NHS Parliamentary Awards. Working with patients, their families and loved ones to co-produce compassionate wrap around care has made a dramatic difference to people’s lives. The HOPE PC has provided an opportunity to compare outcomes between different inpatient treatment programmes and really find what works to help more people and save lives.”

Chief executive of Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust Dr Nick Broughton said: “We strive to deliver the very best care to our patients, continually improving and learning as we go so we may offer people the best opportunities for recovery and wellbeing. Three regional wins at the NHS Parliamentary Awards really does illustrate the positives that can happen when we work together and combine expertise. Good luck to our HOPE colleagues and all the finalists at the final next month.”
