Last month, the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence published it's new recommendations for the care & treatment of psychosis & schizophrenia. Clinical Guideline 178, although not enforceable, updates the guidelines based on consultation, research, & best practice. Much more emphasis is placed on ready access to services, physical wellbeing, peer support, the role & needs of carers.
Rethink Mental Illness have responded by producing a simple guide to what should ideally be offered to people experiencing severe mental illness. Well worth a look...
