Phase 2: Mind - Data capture for remote counselling service

CHALLENGE

Developing a data capture solution for Mind (National) that will evaluate the effectiveness of a remote counselling service they are offering on behalf of the Welsh government. 

OUTLINE

Mind have been awarded the contract by Welsh govt. to develop and run a remote counselling service which offers 6 counselling sessions to people (need more detail from Mind) by phone. Funding was awarded on 20th May and runs for 6 months from that date. Mind have to mobilise quickly to get provision in place as soon as possible. 17 local Mind centres have signed up to deliver the program but service users will be allocated based on availability (not just location) which is a new concept for Mind. 

The funding Mind are requesting will support with data capture for evaluating the effectiveness of an intervention. Without this support Mind are planning on using spreadsheets to capture data but acknowledge that this is usually poorly adopted by practitioners. 

This is an interesting, neat project which could both help Mind to improve and continue this service offer but also be used in other initiatives where data capture is so crucial.

DEPENDENCIES

The wider project is already in progress and will require a team to get started within the next three weeks.
