Edinburgh, 30th April 2007
Hosted by: Scottish Executive
The Scottish Executive Mental Health Division hosted this event to share and discuss the new Scottish Recovery Indicator (SRI) tool. SRI was adapted from the original Recovery Oriented Practices Index tool developed in New York (Mancini, A.D., & Finnerty, M.T. 2005). The commitment to develop a tool to assess practice against expected values was outlined initially in the Mental Health Nursing Review and then later in Delivering for Mental Health. The Recovery Network has been involved in promoting the use of such tools and in adapting and developing SRI from the outset.
