Themes for the day

• A local and national example of good practice
• Local User and Carer views of what constitutes
  good practice
• Poster opportunities for services to show the
  good practice they are involved in
• Chance to network with commissioners,
  practitioners, users and carers, from statutory
  and non statutory service providers
• Feedback to commissioners event next week

First a question or two

• If a person with a mental health issue needs help
  with their housing are they discharged?
• If a person addicted to heroin needs acute
  hospital care following a car crash are they
  discharged?
• So why if someone with MH issues reports using
  drugs are they often discharged and vice versa?
• And if this never happens anyway you will have an
  integrated dual diagnosis system..
• INTEGRATED WORKING DOESNT HAVE TO BE HARD!
