Govconnect are delighted to announce that our inaugural Mental Health – Implementing the Five Year forward View conference will be held on the 20th September 2017 at the RSM, London.

Implementing the Five Year Forward View published in mid-2016 was a welcomed and timely roadmap. This conference will outline the core elements of the implementation plan and will review and assess the actions for each of the key objectives.
