The National Mental Health Crisis Summit takes a practical case study based approach to improving services and outcomes for people with mental health conditions requiring urgent and crisis care. The day will focus on improving services for mental health crisis care, through learning from organisations that have succeeded in addressing the challenge of improving access and delivering an effective mental health crisis pathway in line with the national concordat. Case Studies of Beyond Places of Safety Crisis services will be presented following the Department of Health additional funding focusing on timely support to relieve pressures on hospitals by reducing unnecessary visits to A&E for those experiencing a crisis.
