Mental Health
We believe that good Mental Health is critical to everyone’s health and wellbeing. The HIN aims to ensure that Mental Health is embedded in all our health programmes; Healthy Ageing, Diabetes and Stroke Prevention, MSK, and Patient Safety in line with the Five Year Forward View for mental health.
Additionally, the HIN is playing a key role to encourage and support the spread and adoption of evidence-based good practice in Mental Health through our networks and partnerships, and by working with a wide range of stakeholders in south London.
