The National Mental Health Development Unit (NMHDU) is a governmental organisation in England charged with supporting the implementation of mental health policy. The unit does this by advising on best practice for improving mental health and mental health services.
The NMHDU is funded by the Department of Health and the National Health Service, and aims to work in partnership with the NHS's Strategic Health Authorities and all stakeholders. The Unit was launched in 2009, following the abolition of the National Institute for Mental Health in England (NIMHE). The director of the NIMHE, Ian MacPherson, became the director of the NMHDU.
The Unit has several specific programmes of activity, including to support the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) scheme. The Unit also supports the government's new strategy for mental health, New Horizons, which was published in December 2009 following the end of the National Service Framework plans.
