Against all Odds - Transition and Opportunities

Following on from last years successful conference there is still significant demand for understanding the opportunities of enterprise in the mental health field. This years event proposes to focus on two areas; the individual entrepreneurs and the social enterprises developing within NHS services. Both face the transition and opportunities available and hence succeed against all odds in this under resourced field.
