Every health and care system in England has been tasked with implementing a multi-year Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP). STPs will become the single application and approval process for accessing NHS transformation funding, with the best plans receiving funding allocations first. Getting the approach right to local plans is key to making the vision a reality, ensuring changes drive better health outcomes, better patient care and sustainable transformation in service delivery. Our interactive and engaging conference Making STPs a Reality: Action to Deliver Better Care will support care providers, commissioners and local councils improve health and care in their area.

This conference will support care providers, commissioners and local councils improve health and care in their area. Our conference agenda has been designed to not help organisations drive better quality and more sustainable health care services but understand how to collaborate to deliver improved population health and wellbeing.

October 24th, 2017 | 8:30 am – 4:30 pm

Open Forum Events would like to invite you to our National Mental Health: Making Forward Plans a Reality conference. This will be our sixth in the series of successful mental health events that we have organised. Our brand new conference has been designed to give all delegates an invaluable update on the road map to improved mental health care, with real examples of service transformation and new approaches to care.

On the day you will hear from our guest speak Frank Bruno MBE. In 2003 Frank Bruno was sectioned for the first time and diagnosed as having Bipolar disorder. His well documented illness put Frank in the public eye and he has used this media attention to help with the stigma attached to mental health and to help raise the standards of care given to those living with mental health issues.
