Further to the continued success of the regional Mental Health Commissioning Networks in 2016 we held an inaugural East of England event.
The conference focused on:
- Schizophrenia – Transforming patient outcomes and reducing the bed crisis (comparing two regions)
- Depression – Recovery focus in the community to free up resources within secondary care
- The art of the possible – transforming outcomes in adult ADHD
The network aimed to bring together like minded people from primary and secondary care, and associated organisations involved in the commissioning and delivery of services to care for and support patients with mental health conditions. It provided a platform for active discussion and exchange of ideas to cope with the commissioning challenges encountered in mental health in a more integrated way.
Please note this network changed name from the East of England Mental Health Commissioning Network.
Feedback from previous Mental Health Commissioning Networks:
“High quality presentations”, “Interesting presentations, discussions and networking opportunity”, “A very informative day”
Recommended for:
“Commissioning directors”, “Leads for mental health”, “Clinicians with management roles”, “CCG commissioning managers”
