Care beyond beds: creating mental health services fit for the next decade || BASW England Mental Health Group Lunchtime Session

Centre for Mental Health has explored the role of inpatient services in mental health care, and the range of alternatives that could be developed to reduce reliance on beds. It has also set out a shared vision for mental health services over the next decade and explored a range of inequalities in our mental health care system. This talk will summarise those findings and open up discussion about what the vision for the next decade should look like and how we can get there.

Andy Bell is chief executive of Centre for Mental Health, an independent charity that leads the way in challenging inequality and injustice in society to help create better mental health for all.
