Driving System-Wide Mental Health Transformation: A Strategic Summit for NHS Leaders - All Convenzis Events Provide 8 CPD Points Per Delegate
Mental health remains one of the NHS’s defining priorities, shaping both policy and system design for the decade ahead.
Record demand - with more than 4.6 million people now in contact with NHS mental health services - continues to test capacity, equity, and workforce resilience. At the same time, the NHS 10-Year Health Plan and the Government’s Mental Health Strategy set a clear ambition: earlier access, community-based care, 24/7 crisis support, and true parity with physical health.
MHVision 2026 brings together senior NHS, local authority, and voluntary sector leaders to examine how these ambitions translate into integrated, sustainable, and prevention-focused services.
The event focuses on capability, collaboration, and outcomes, helping systems strengthen governance, digital readiness, and workforce wellbeing to deliver accessible and equitable mental healthcare for all.
Summit Focus:
This year’s summit will focus on the levers of long-term transformation: system integration, early intervention, workforce sustainability, and digital innovation. Delegates will explore how to embed co-production, data-driven decision-making, and community partnerships within modern mental health systems.
Skill Clinics and Lessons Learned Sessions will give attendees practical frameworks for implementing digital tools, improving staff wellbeing, and ensuring patient voice drives change at every level.

- Strengthen community mental health delivery across ICSs and local partners.
