The National Forum for Assertive Outreach is a grass roots network for promoting best practice in assertive outreach services and associated integrated models
We need a whole system pathway to support recovery for people with complex psychosis (local inpatient rehabilitation units, supported accommodation and community rehabilitation teams). Cuts to NHS services have caused this scandalous situation. Great to see media highlighting it.
There are 256 combinations of symptoms by which an individual could receive a ‘borderline personality disorder’ diagnosis in DSM-V. If we bin all that ideology and meet the person relationally, we have what is actually important-a person in agony who deserves compassion and care.
Watch as Former President Obama completely destroys Donald Trump without a single mention of his name.
This is what true leadership looks like! #MandelaLecture
Great start to meeting of National Forum of assertive outreach exec committee. Plan to share some of the work at RCPsych rehab conference in November. @skalidindi1@raj_psyc@NFAOuk@nuwandiss So much learning from assertive outreach and rehabilitation teams around the country.
A good meeting this morning with David Elletson from @NFAOuk We need the think to a future which properly values Assertive Outreach instead of focusing on short term £ gain. And in doing so, it’s worth looking to the past https://t.co/Gs3gIkXOAt @raj_psyc@DrG_NHS@skalidindi1
It was a long day and I’m pretty tired after a five hour drive back 😴. But it was good to meet other Assertive Outreach teams. Looking forward to using some idea gained to improve our service #nfaonational2017#lswqi#nhs#physicalhealth#assertiveoutreach
#nfaonational2017 last speaker of the day will be Mike Firn with Dr Andy Owen discussing how are you now supporting SO clients in your locality post AO. How are SMI clients surviving in CMHT and FACT structures. #mentalhealth#FACT#ACT
@nuwandiss#nfaonational2017 is more than just about the FACT model. It would have been good if you had been able to make it to discuss and add to this day. https://t.co/GgdJsOvT3f
Sadly can’t be at this. Have no faith that FACT can provide continuity required for patients who truly need AOT despite the (limited) evidence. And all the “integrations” I’ve heard about have been unmitigated disasters according to many patients and carers .@NSFTCrisis https://t.co/v2b0nMrDKH
#nfaonational2017 first workshop I’m attending is peer workers- why are staff with lived experience still not mainstream in mental health services #livedexperience#peerworkers#recovery
