Sustainability and mental healthcare delivery – how to learn from the Covid-19 crisis webinar 

Thursday 17 December 2020

We looked at what we have learnt from the positive impact on environment and negative impact on the mental healthcare workforce from Covid-19 and the rapid adaptations of healthcare services to the constraints on face to face appointments that it has imposed.

We examined the responses of patients, particularly younger patients who represent our future, about satisfaction, the eco-friendliness and sustainability of remote delivery of healthcare. We also discussed how remote delivery has helped and hindered mental wellbeing and utilisation of the workforce in difficult times.

We discussed with participants how to learn from our experiences to ‘Build Back Better’ for more flexible, patient-centred and sustainable mental healthcare delivery in the future.
