You are invited to help shape outcomes for people with first episode psychosis by participating in a groundbreaking EIP Sustainability Workshop. Our focus will be on recognising local achievements and co-producing the way forward. This is a real opportunity to achieve the best for people with psychosis and recognise system blocks and find creative ways around them by shaping the future together.

We have been working hard since April 2015 on the EIP Preparedness Programme to mobilise and harness the expertise and intelligence of practitioners to improve outcomes. The focus of the EIP Sustainability Workshop will be on translating evidence into practice in the real (and sometimes messy) world.

The aims of the workshops are to:

1. Increase sustainability and effectiveness of EIP services using the momentum and the intelligence of our growing network;
2. Use the talents of experienced clinicians and managers to increase the leadership capacity in the South region;
3. Harness the existing know-how and support clinicians and managers in further developing their shared knowledge and skills in enabling excellence in delivering the access and waiting time standards.

The workshops will be facilitated by Valerie James. Valerie was a Senior Fellow in Leadership at the King’s Fund for 10 years and currently works with the London Deanery’s Darzi fellows. Previously a clinician, she now works independently on transformational change and is at the forefront of innovation in developing health service leaders.

We look forward to seeing you there – please do not hesitate to get in touch if have any questions.
