This helps people develop themselves and consider the materials they are working with to develop new insights and concepts.  Having been on the NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur programme since 2019 both as a entrepreneur and as a mentor to start-ups in mental health\, I am a go-to person to guide new developments in mental health as well as understanding and living the entrepreneurial spirit of the work involved.  This has also helped me further develop my network that I have been developing nationally and internationally of people\, products and companies in this field for over 15 years.” \n  URL:https://www.medilinkmidlands.com/event/digital-technologies-for-positive-mental-health-and-wellbeing/ LOCATION:Harlow Innovation Park\, CM17 9LX CATEGORIES:Featured,Medilink Midlands Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.medilinkmidlands.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Mental-Health.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
