MHVision 2026 is a strategic NHS summit focused on transforming mental health services across the UK. The event brings together senior leaders from the NHS, Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), local authorities, and the voluntary sector to address how national mental health priorities can be translated into sustainable, integrated, and prevention-focused services.

With record demand for mental health support and growing workforce pressures, the summit explores how systems can strengthen governance, improve community-based care, and build long-term resilience. The event aligns with the NHS 10-Year Health Plan and the Government’s Mental Health Strategy, focusing on earlier intervention, 24/7 crisis access, and achieving parity between mental and physical health.

The event addresses key transformation levers including system integration, early intervention and prevention, workforce sustainability, and digital innovation. Discussions centre on embedding co-production and patient voice into service design, using data and analytics to evaluate outcomes, and implementing digital tools such as AI triage and virtual therapy safely and effectively. Through skill-focused sessions and practical case studies, the summit aims to equip leaders with actionable frameworks to improve community mental health delivery, enhance staff wellbeing and retention, and drive measurable improvements in accessibility and equity of care.
