Mental Health Outcomes - Community of Practice network
30 November 2026 2:00pm – 3:30pmGMT (+00:00)
Virtual (Microsoft Teams)
Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the fourth Community of Practice (CoP) meeting focused on outcome measurement in mental health services.
Sarah Gorst from the University of Liverpool will deliver a keynote session exploring how outcome measurement can be made meaningful in practice. Drawing on the work of the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) initiative, Sarah will introduce the development and use of core outcome sets, including how these are developed collaboratively with service users, carers and professionals, their potential benefits and limitations in routine care, and examples of existing core outcome sets in mental health.
The community is open to all colleagues with an interest in outcome measurement in mental health. This may include regional colleagues, commissioners, managers, and practitioners working in mental health services, as well as analysts involved in reporting outcome data.
The CoP aims to support services to:
- Connect and collaborate
- Work together to improve the collection, reporting, and meaningful use of outcome data
It will provide a space to:
- Share best practice
- Highlight developments, improvement projects, and innovation
- Exchange knowledge and learning
- Work collectively to address challenges
