Priorities for Digital Mental Health event

Members involved in delivering digital transformation of mental health services may be interested in attending an event ‘Priorities for Digital Mental Health – A year in review’.

NHS England published the Priorities for Digital Mental Health in May 2022. The priorities are held within the Mental Health Learning Disability and Autism Resource Hub (MHLDA) via the FutureNHS Platform – details of how to access this can be found below.  

The priorities captured what stakeholders across the mental health system saw as critical to achieving effective digital transformation in mental health and achieving the ambitions of the NHS Long-Term Plan.  

Priorities for Digital Mental Health – A year in review will be a virtual event open to all those involved in the delivery of digital transformation in mental health across England. 

It will include presentations from national, regional, and local teams on how their work over the last year has supported delivery of the priorities. 

The session will also include clinical and lived-experience perspectives on the impact of the progress made to date, as well as why this work remains critical to effective mental health care delivery.  

The virtual event will be held on Thursday 27 April 2023, 12 noon to 1.30pm. A detailed agenda will be shared in advance of the event. You can register online.   

Please keep the time free and share this invite with other relevant stakeholders in your networks.
