Webinar - Talking mental health

We are pleased to invite you to join us for our free 2-part webinar series ‘Talking Mental Health’.

As we enter the winter months and a likely resurgence of COVID-19, we will undoubtedly see a rise in demand for NHS services. We understand the significant challenges that Clinical Commissioning Groups will face during this time - striving to deliver high-quality care to clients in the community whilst navigating through uncertain times and managing increased workload.
