Mary Hattie, the new PiP Coordinator, is calling for submissions to their website. The Principles into Practice network was set up in 2006 to promote the principles of mental health law. The principles are all about providing care and treatment that respects the individual. They challenge us to keep the whole person at the heart of policies, decisions and everyday practice.The network is primarily known for its bi-annual awards for good practice in mental health. One of these - the rehabilitation and recovery award has been sponsored by SRN. Details of all the submissions which were shortlisted for this years' awards along with video clips of the winning entries can be found on the Principles into Practice website. The PIP website is hosted by the Mental Welfare Commission and is designed to enable members to share practical tools, resources and their experiences of what works in practice. Over the last year this aspect of the website has been rather neglected, however as the new PiP co-ordinator, Mary Hattie is keen to address this: "We are always looking for new case studies, articles, and examples of good practice for inclusion on the website. These don’t need to be complex research based pieces of work. As we all know, small practical innovations can make a real difference to experiences of care and the outcome for the individual. We are also keen to include service users' and carers' stories about their experience of services, particularly where they have had a positive experience of principle based care, or where they have constructive suggestions for how to improve services." The PiP website also contains a discussion forum, which provides a useful space for professionals and other network members to debate and share their views on issues which impact on their practice. Again, Mary says this is an under utilised part of the site and PiP will be surveying network members and reviewing this aspect of their website later in the year.
