City University London, Disability and Social Inclusion seminar, March 10th, 1-2.15pm
Driving change in the delivery of mental health services
Speaker, Paul Farmer, CBE, Chief Executive, Mind
In February 2016, NHS England's taskforce on mental health - independently chaired by Mind's Chief Executive Paul Farmer - launched its report<https://www.england.nhs.uk/mentalhealth/taskforce/>, setting out a detailed five-year plan for NHS mental health services, as well as other bodies and services involved in the support of people with mental health problems. Over 20,000 people who live with a mental health problem or work in the mental health sector told the taskforce they want timely access to good quality mental health services, their mental and physical health needs to be treated equally and a bigger focus is placed on preventing mental health problems. They also said that a decent place to live, a job and good quality relationships in their local communities were crucial to their ability to stay well.
In this talk, Paul Farmer will outline the key recommendations of the Mental Health Taskforce and their implications for the NHS and wider Government, and will set out his vision for the 'mainstreaming' of mental health.
