Mental health and the productivity challenge

Approach

  • In May 2010 we convened a half-day meeting with a range of invited experts on mental health and productivity. Participants explored opportunities for improving productivity in mental heath care through a number of working groups, each with a different area of focus. Our report is based on the outcomes of this meeting, and draws on the wider evidence-base and examples of good practice.
  • The project has built on previous work conducted by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, NHS Confederation and London School of Economics in Mental Health and the Economic Downturn.
