Key messages class="unordered" style="list-style-type:disc">Collaborative multi-agency teamwork that includes primary care and mental health services can deliver improvements in health and wellbeing for whole populations.Delivering health improvements to whole populations can be facilitated by a combination of quality improvement methodology strongly linked to stakeholder participation in co-design of projects.Why this matters to meI know that healthcare services need to change the way they work together to better support people with common mental health problems and particularly people who have traditionally been excluded from services.
