Overview
Our Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Annual Conference and Exhibition will bring together over 200 senior leaders from NHS, VCSE and independent organisations for lively discussions on the future of services, to share good practice, horizon scan, network with peers and influence the national policy direction.
In an evolving health and care landscape, with increased demand and pressure across all systems, meeting rising mental health need is crucial not only to the sustainability of healthcare services but to economic growth. Organisations are innovating at every level – from defining models of care, exploring the potential of digital technology, committing to new partnerships and working across boundaries. The conference gives senior leaders the opportunity to come together to focus on these areas, discover ideas and to re-energise themselves as leaders delivering high quality organisations and services.
