This discussion from our Annual Conference on 8 October looks at the impact of coronavirus and the wider socio-economic consequences of the UK’s response to the pandemic on mental health and wellbeing, the likely shape of demand for mental health services in the coming months and what the sector needs to be able to meet it.
