Main Room20 minsAs the new mental health strategy pushes services toward earlier intervention and community-based care, the question is no longer whether AI can summarise a conversation. It is how we use it to help patients move through entire pathways of clinical support faster, safer and with more humanity. In this session, Beam follows Aisha from first contact through triage, language access, assessment, documentation and coordinated onward care, bringing each stage to life with real technology solutions, NHS partner outcomes and a live demonstration. Aisha is not a real patient. The technology, use cases and outcomes behind her journey are.

Main Room20 minsWith health services reorganising into neighbourhood teams and the launch of the new cross-government Mental Health Strategy, we face a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redesign mental health care. As long-established systems evolve, we have a rare window to transition to a truly unified, person-centered approach. But, we aren’t starting from scratch—and any change must be executed safely, protecting continuity of care for those currently in the system. Capitalising on this moment requires both a shared vision and a practical plan to get there.
Drawing on 25 years of experience supporting mental health services, Tom will share Mayden’s vision for the future of care. This session will explore the core principles of mental health delivery in the digital age, and outline immediate opportunities to take a step in the right direction.

Main Room20 minsThe NHS 111 "Press 2" for mental health rollout was a landmark moment for access to crisis care. Two years on, much has changed. The extent and nature of demand has been revealed, and the connecting landscape has evolved across community pathways and integrated support networks.
But access alone isn't enough. This presentation examines what it takes to move beyond triaging and towards true care orchestration, ensuring people don't just reach services, but receive coordinated, outcome-focused support.
Join Tom Haxby of Content Guru to explore the next chapter in urgent mental health access, and what it really takes to turn better access into better outcomes.

Main Room20 minsThis presentation will clarify the Nottingham shared care framework for ADHD looking at the three-way partnership between the specialist, GP/pharmacist, and the patient to ensure safe prescribing. By facilitating multiple pathways through the service, we use a “one size does not fit all” approach ensuring the level of shared care matches the complexity of the patient. Shared care allows for a double-checking system for clinical safety as the patient is monitored by both a specialist and local clinician with immediate access to a full medical history, any new medications or new diagnosis. This is not about shifting the risk but distributing it to allow monitoring where the patient is most visible.
