Population Mental Health leads addressed over 600 people from around the globe joining King’s Health Partners’ 2024 Annual Conference, with many more tuning into the live online broadcast.
King’s Health Partners (KHP) is a partnership between three NHS Foundation Trusts, Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital and South London and Maudsley, together with King’s College London.
The KHP conference programme focused on how partners are addressing health inequality and working to achieve health equity across the system, through advancements in research, healthcare, education and technology.
Taking to the stage to join a selection of presentations and discussion on Population Health were PHI UK Population Mental Health consortium co-directors, Prof Jay Das-Munshi and Dan Barrett.
This was the first time they have jointly presented about the consortium, which aims to create new opportunities for population-based improvements in mental health across the UK. The focus will be on children and young people, suicide and self-harm prevention and multiple long-term conditions.
The conference provided a helpful opportunity to share and outline how the Consortium, which kick-started its work in April is already beginning to take shape and share aspirations for the road ahead.
