This residential event is aimed at Managers/Coordinators of YIACS that offer Advice, Counselling and other Support Services; who are interested in delivery services as part of the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies agenda*. The event will assist managers to put together a formal tender for talking therapies.
We will focus on:

• The tendering process
• The experience of YIACS who have submitted a formal tender
• GPs and Local Authorities role in commissioning
*The Coalition has identified talking therapies as one of its public health priorities in its DH Structural Reform plans and is consulting on (4.6) ‘Ensuring greater access to talking therapies to reduce long term NHS Costs’.
