Kelly Barker, Bradford District Care NHS Trust general manager for mental health services, and Helen Davey, Mind Bradford chief executive, share the pressures they face and how they work with voluntary and community organisations to better meet growing demand for the area’s adult community.
We also hear Sian Wimbury, Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust deputy chief operating officer, and Jane Arands, strategic lead, who share their innovative ways of working collaboratively with other mental health trusts and private sector providers in the area through the North West Bed Bureau.
