Andy Bell (confirmed)
Deputy Chief Executive, Centre for Mental Health
“The challenges of implementing the mental health strategy”
The mental health strategy set out an ambitious agenda for improving population mental health and the lives of people with mental health conditions. Implementing that vision in practice, however, is challenging against a background of spending restraint and public service reform. Shifting investment towards services that promote prevention, early intervention and recovery is crucial to the success of the strategy. This session will examine what opportunities exist to achieve this and the role of local and national bodies in supporting services to change.

Dr Neil Deuchar (confirmed)
Co-Chair The Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health
“Commissioning mental health”
Not all GPs and local authorities feel adequately prepared to take on commissioning of mental health and wellbeing. To help support commissioning in the new NHS, the Joint Commissioning Panel for Mental Health (JCP-MH) brings together the Royal Colleges of Psychiatrists and General Practitioners along with patients and carers and several other key organisations to address concerns about the future of mental health services and issue jointly agreed guidance about commissioning.

“Overcoming stigma, discrimination and inequalities”

Steve Shrubb (confirmed)
Director Mental Health Network, NHS Confederation
“There is no health without mental health: The importance of an integrated approach to physical and mental health care”
Poor mental health is inextricably linked to physical health as those suffering with mental health problems are more at risk to long-term conditions such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. It has also been shown that poor physical health lends itself to patients developing mental health issues as a result of living with such diseases, whilst good mental health can be a preventative factor to developing physical ailments. There is growing evidence that developing integrated approaches to physical and mental health problems improves outcomes and saves the NHS and the broader economy money.

Sarah Brennan (confirmed)
Chief Executive, YoungMinds
“BOND; Better Outcomes through New Delivery”
The importance of intervening early in children and young people's emerging mental health problems and emotional distress is emphasised in the government's new Mental Health Strategy. Voluntary sector organisations are recognised as those who can most effectively engage young people and deliver early interventions but for whom gaining contracts can be the most challenging. BOND; Better Outcomes through New Delivery is an ambitious national consortium programme supported by the DfE and led by YoungMinds, to address the most common barriers to being commissioned and develop a market ready sector. What are the key factors which will enable VCSO's to have effective commissioning relationships?
