Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) are leading the way in spreading proven innovations across England. The Focus ADHD programme and the Early Intervention Eating Disorders programmes are two mental health programmes for children and young adults that have been successfully supported to spread. We know that great ideas alone will not necessarily lead to changes in practice and this session will share insights from our approach, at a time when the mental health needs of children and younger adults have never been greater.

This session forms part of the Innovation feature zone that is supported by The AHSN Network.
