In September 2023, The Department for Health & Social Care published a 5-year cross-sector strategy for suicide prevention in the UK. This policy paper outlined detailed guidance and improvement areas for crisis mental health care across the country. As the demand for crisis mental health across the country continues to grow, and with an election looming, it is now more essential than ever to ensure high-quality and efficient care for those in need. In recent times progress has been made on streamlining access to mental health care, such as the implementation of nationwide mental health crisis lines across the UK, but there is still work to be done. Through sharing best practice, practitioners can build upon successful examples and develop strategies to provide high-quality care within their communities.
Join us at The Crisis Mental Health Services 2024 to hear the latest updates, guidance, and recommendations for crisis mental health care across the UK. Engage with a series of best practice case studies on improving discharge pathways from hospitals and creating avenues from crisis care to additional services. You will also have the opportunity to network with senior colleagues from across the sector to discuss challenges you have faced in improving local services through partnership working.
