Mental Health Patient Safety Network – Reducing Racial Inequalities

Join us for this interactive network event designed to bring together individuals across the system with the shared goal of improving mental health safety, brought to you by the Health Innovation Network (HIN) in partnership with experts by experience, Oxleas, South West London & St George’s and South London and Maudsley NHS Trusts.

Following our successful network launch in October 2021 - staff, people with lived experience, voluntary sector partners and colleagues across the system will come together to share insights, learning and practical examples of improving safety in mental health, with a particular focus on reducing racial inequalities.

What to expect:

• Experiential lens: You will hear from patients, carers and staff on their experience of mental health safety and racial inequalities

• Innovations in practice: You will have chance to hear directly from colleagues about leading examples of work locally

• Stimulating conversation: We want to hear your insights, experiences and challenges in mental health safety and create space for you to connect with colleagues across the system

Watch this space as our expert speakers are announced.
