  1. Operational policy update January 2009

  2. These slides are to let you know about… • Changes made recently to the policy • Future changes (At the end there is also a reminder of the structure of the policy and the process for reviewing it)

  3. Changes to referrals section There are some new sentences on response to referrals for people referred directly from their GP. These are about emphasizing the need for us to provide an urgent assessment for those who are not getting input from anywhere else. Some of these people need immediate help because of risk or severity and will already be referred to the PCMHT or crisis team for this. However all the others also need priority, in order to fulfill our core task of early intervention and reducing DUP.

  4. Changes to core module In the section on pathways out of the service, there is a new paragraph on people who move to another country.

  5. Changes to core module There are some minor changes relating to psychological therapy and therapists, to bring the policy into line with current terminology and arrangements. These changes don’t require anyone to do anything different from what they are doing already

  6. Possible future changes Please help to improve the policy by sharing your ideas Comments very welcome on • The recent changes • Anything else you think needs attention

  7. Possible future changes Please pass on your comments by • Contacting any of the members of the review group (Jeff Warburton, Warren Larkin, Mark Butler, Louella Bielby, Vicki Sherrington, Meryl Crawford, Amardip Prihar) • Coming along in person to an operational policy review group meeting if there is something you would particularly like to discuss (Next meeting March 11th 12.30-2pm)

  8. A reminder of the structure of the policy (1) There are 3 detailed documents for use by EIS staff. These are the ones to refer to if you have questions about what we are intended to be doing. These cover • Referrrals • Core module • Service organization

  9. A reminder of the structure of the policy(2) The summary document is suitable for sharing with people outside the service, and as a starting point if you are reading the policy for the first time. It contains information about the service philosophy and structure which aren’t in the other documents. The sections on referrals, core module and organization and processes don’t contain anything that isn’t in the other three documents.

  10. And a reminder of how changes get made Anyone can make a suggestion for changes An operational policy review group meets quarterly to discuss suggestions and agree proposals for changes The proposed changes are then agreed (or not agreed) in the Standards for Better Health group, which is the main EIS management group.
