Looking Ahead: What to Expect from Contour at Design in Mental Health 2025

The Design in Mental Health Conference is more than just a date in the diary, it’s a cornerstone event for the sector. Each year, it brings together a vibrant community of designers, clinical professionals, estates teams, manufacturers and innovators, all united by a shared commitment to improving mental health environments.

For Contour, it’s a chance to connect, reflect, and, most importantly, evolve. And this year, we're returning with something very special.

Innovation, Informed by You

The past 12 months have been full of valuable conversations, not just with healthcare professionals and estates teams, but with those who experience our products in real-world settings every day. We've listened carefully to the feedback received at last year’s event, and spent the time since developing, refining and rethinking.

What can you expect at DiMH 2025? 

The next generation of Contour products built on real-world insight - designed for safety and engineered for ease.

We're proud of the progress we’ve made and we’re still working hard behind the scenes to make sure that our products continue to raise the bar across the board.

A Stand with a Difference

This year, we’ve reimagined our stand to better reflect the values behind our products: openness, collaboration, and practical design with purpose. You’ll still find the friendly Contour welcome you know and love - and yes, the sweet treats are back too, with our signature ice cream and a new surprise addition that we think you’ll enjoy.

Why We Attend

Design in Mental Health is an opportunity to step outside the day-to-day and engage with the ideas shaping the future of healthcare environments. We attend to:

• Showcase innovation: sharing how our product developments respond to sector challenges
• Learn from industry leaders: through speaker sessions, case studies and panel discussions
• Connect with the community: from NHS Trusts to architects, contractors and suppliers
• Stay accountable: making sure our solutions meet the expectations of the people who rely on them

It's also a space to explore how design can go beyond compliance - supporting dignity, wellbeing and recovery in every setting.

Join Us at Stand 203

Whether you’re a returning visitor or new to Contour, we’d love to welcome you to Stand 203 at Manchester Central on 3–4 June 2025. Come and see what we’ve been working on, get a first look at our latest product evolution, and let’s talk about how we can help shape safer, smarter spaces together.
