Read the July 2025 edition of EMA Today

Welcome to the July 2025 edition of EMA Today, the quarterly e-newsletter from the East Midlands Alliance for Mental Health, Learning Disabilities and Autism for Alliance colleagues, stakeholders and the wider healthcare community.
This issue brings you the latest news and developments from across the region. This includes the opening of a new 54-bed inpatient facility in Derbyshire, and in Northamptonshire the unveiling of a calming sensory room for young people and the successful refurbishment of a psychiatric intensive care unit. We also are delighted to share highlights from the IMPACT provider collaborative Annual Report for 2024/25, two HSJ digital award wins for Derbyshire Healthcare and patient safety nominations for Leicestershire Partnership Trust. The Family Ambassador Service also shares an insightful story from the perspective of the mum of a young CAMHS patient who has been supported by the team.
Also in this edition, you can watch Stacey Carter, HR Director at St Andrew's Healthcare, take on our 60 Second Showcase.
