We will hold the meeting on Microsoft Teams, to enable as many to attend as possible from across the East of England. Together with mental health professionals and other stakeholders, we invite you to help shape the future of our regional network by sharing your valuable opinions and expertise.

We are very interested in your vision for our regional PPN, the actions the network can take to support the psychological professions, workforce development and service excellence, both regionally and nationally, as well as strategies to monitor progress.

During the meeting, we will hold three discussion groups that will focus on:

• workforce development
• a unified voice for psychological professions
• achieving service excellence

Please choose the meeting that most suits your areas of interest. We hope that these meetings will provide a good opportunity for everyone to voice ideas, to share experiences and to initiate or extend meaningful conversations to foster joint endeavour and positive change.
