For the last 6 years MNR has been bringing together professionals from the health, social care and housing sectors to debate the best way of working together to improve outcomes. This year we want to move on from personalisation, to broaden that agenda to look at the benefits for communities and how we can use local resources more effectively.

Why should you attend?

MNR has always given people who use and deliver services a chance to speak up about where the challenges lie and what can be done to enable better, more efficient practices. As the election looms, this conference is a unique opportunity to hear from service users, leading service providers, commissioners and policy makers. Topics that will be discussed this year include:

  • How can Whitehall facilitate ways of using finance or contracts to integrate services more effectively?
  • Case study from Cumbria on how to pool the assets you have to improve services and outcomes
  • Engaging effectively with local communities and improving peoples access to services
  • Looking ahead to the major trends in public policy and what it means for services
