On 8 November 2016, we brought together Transforming Care Partnerships (TCPs) from across the country to reflect on the progress made during the first year of Building the right support, and look ahead to what we need to do over the next two years.

Speakers included Parliamentary Under-Secretary and David Mowat MP and Chief Nursing Officer Jane Cummings. We also heard from examples of work from around the country, including Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, the Starfish Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Norfolk and the Shared Lives scheme.
