Putting Everyone First: Making personalisation work for older people and people that have mental health problems

Thursday 10th June 2010, Holiday Inn London Bloomsbury

A one day conference from NDTi supported by the National Mental Health Development Unit, Department of Health and the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE).

This event is focused on sharing practical lessons and exploring common barriers to developing personalised services and support for older people and people with mental health problems. It will show how health and local authorities can bring together the strategic and practical aspects of commissioning to deliver the government's agenda on personalisation - but more importantly how personalisation helps to change people's lives.
