Improving Quality of Life Through Coproduction - The DIALOG+ Healthcare Intervention.
About this Event

IMPORTANT - please note that this event is open to national and international healthcare professionals and providers, NHSE, other third sector organisations



In collaboration with City St George’s, University of London and East London NHS Foundation Trust, we are pleased to invite you to a one-day mental health conference.


DIALOG+ is the first - and so far, only - model to improve outcomes of mental health care through routine patient-clinician meetings. It has the potential to make care in various settings patient-centred and significantly more effective. However, implementation faces a range of technical, organisational and practical hurdles. This one-day conference will show the current state of the art, highlight good practice and discuss ways forward.


Venue: The Wash Houses, 25 Old Castle Street, London E17NU
