The monthly Liaison and Diversion (L&D) Bulletin, bringing all news and L&D updates together in one place. A key part of the L&D pathway is the referral of service users into treatment and support services provided by partner organisations.

We also bring you the latest news of the RAND evaluation as well as a number of forthcoming events – including the annual National Conference. NHS England
