The Mental Health Foundation is looking for women from African, African-Caribbean and South Asian communities in London to be a part of a study collecting stories about recovery from mental distress. The study aims to collect your views on how you understand mental distress, what “recovery” means to you, and what has helped you in your recovery and wellbeing.

Capita’s Personalisation in Health and Social Care Conference demonstrates how health services and local authorities can bring together the strategic and practical aspects of integrating services to deliver the Coalition Government’s agenda on personalisation. Significant funding constraints over the coming period means that the NHS and local authorities have to invest in integrating health and social care services to combine efforts, avoid duplication and make the most of shared resources.
With expert speakers and practical case studies from the Integrated Care Pilot schemes, this timely event will aid you in learning how to make partnerships work to provide a more responsive and personalised service for patients and service users.
