These FREE workshops will give practitioners, commissioners and policy makers an opportunity to hear from the research team, who will share the findings and recommendations of the research. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore the implications of the research for services and those who will be impacted when MPA is introduced in Wales on 2nd March 2020.
