Thursday 20th November, Edinburgh The Scottish Recovery Network have been leading efforts to develop SRI working with a range of partners. This event will feature a range of speakers including people involved in piloting the tool who will describe the impact that it had on their service. There will also be feedback on the independent evaluation of the pilot phase as well as opportunities for discussion and learning around recovery focused practice. Delegates will also hear about next steps with the roll out of the SRI tool. The commitment to develop a tool to assess practice in services against principles of recovery, inclusion, rights and equalities was included in Delivering for Mental Health, Scottish Government’s strategic document on service development. This event should be relevant if you use, plan or deliver mental health services in Scotland. Please note this event is being organised and developed by partners in the Scottish Government. Go to the NHS SHSCEvents website for more details and to book a place by selecting Scottish Recovery Indicator from the drop down list. Alternatively, to read more about the background to the SRI tool please visit our SRI page. SRI Conference Information (PDF) SRI Conference Programme (PDF) |

While the article focuses on recent data from England, there are important lessons to be learnt everywhere, including Scotland. |
