Early review of the Welsh Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat.

Description of impact

I presented findings from the early review of the Concordat to an audience of practitioners, policy makers and service users and carers as part of a conference. This fed into the development of recommendations of how findings from the day could be translated into practice. This work has contributed to further planning and development of joint service delivery
