Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, 11 May - 17 May

Posted on 15th May 2026 by Dan Price

Great mental health care is human

Great mental health care isn’t just clinical, it’s human.

It’s the kind voice at the end of the phone when you’re worried about rent and too unwell to work. It’s the advisor who listens actively, rather than waiting for their turn to speak. It’s the therapist who talks through what’s happened to you, not what’s ‘wrong’ with you.

Mind’s experts are the heart of human care for mental health, treating people as individuals, not statistics and seeing a person, where others might just see a patient. They know their communities, know their needs and go the extra mile to deliver quality care, when people need it most.

This Mental Health Awareness Week (11-17 May), help us continue providing life-changing support that really does make a difference.
Together we can make sure no mind gets left behind.

Fit For The Future

Posted on 12th February 2026 by Dan Price


#WHXDubai reflections have brought many international links but I am reminded there is still work to do in ???????? with our NHS

?? Fit for the Future defines 3 big shifts - where our systems can support staff and patients for example:

? Texting url link to allow people to access vital information about their medicines in their own home - in a way to
best meet their Health Literacy needs.
? QR code access for patients, portals in Community Pharmacies, GP surgeries, Hospital waiting area’s to support workflow efficiency and enable patient centred conversations.
? Intervening early for “Preventable” medicines relates A&E hospital admissions by patients knowing what to “look out for” and “what to do”.

??????? If this interests you - WmD? is part of the MaPPs system so give me a message and we can arrange a demonstration.
