About us
At our inaugural event on 14th October 2011, 40 colleagues came together to start on an exciting journey to develop a strong clinical and commissioning network to improve services across the East Midlands. We will be holding twice-yearly events and maintaining an active online community to share ideas around mental health commissioning. Future events are 22nd March 2012 and 13th September 2012, 1-5pm - reserve these dates in your diary!
