Remote Consultations in Mental Health: Promoting the Patient Voice

Join the Q Community experts by experience at this FREE national online webinar. This webinar will demonstrate how our experts by experience have informed and influenced this Remote Consultations in Mental Health programme. This webinar is funded by the Q Network.
