Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event. Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development. This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

8. Technology Enabled Care in Mental Health
• Take up of digital technology to improve outcomes in mental health has
been slower than in other settings.
• Research is beginning to demonstrate it can produce equivalent
outcomes to traditional face-to-face treatments and can reduce hospital
admissions.
• One of the first large-scale 4-years prospective studies of telehealth in
mental health, psychiatric hospitalisation was reduced by up to 25%
(Godleski and Ritchie, 2012).
• People using digital technology solutions in mental health settings report
high levels of satisfaction due and a greater sense of control over their
treatment.
