Presidential Address • Consultant Rehabilitation Psychiatrist at Guild Lodge • Past Chair of Faculty of Rehabilitation • Rehabilitation and Recovery Services for the 21st Century • The Recovery Movement and the • Social Inclusion Agenda
Presidential Address Sarah Davenport
Current situation • Post de-institutionalisation • Post NSFMH and NHS Plan • Pre next cycle of “New Long Stay” • Up to the neck in the “Virtual Asylum” • Too many “OATS”
Too many deficits and not enough strengths • Lack of a substantial evidence base since the TAPS Studies • Lack of Policy support (3 Functional teams but no rehab team) • The Forgotten Generation (RETHINK 2004) • The OATS scandal (Ryan 2004)
Rehab services are strength based NOT deficits driven! • Optimism • Resist asset stripping • Resist closures • Become more political, now a Faculty • Champion recovery and social inclusion • Advocate on the evidence we do have
Comparison of Ohio Recovery Outcomes and NICE • Encourage my independent thinking • “Discuss preferences, record advance directives.” • Treat me in a way that helps my recovery • “in an atmosphere of hope and optimism”
Comparison 2 • Treat me as an equal in planning my services • Collaborative working relationship • Give me the freedom to make my own mistakes • Service User preferences are central
Comparison 3 • Treat me like they believe I can shape my own future • The right to be fully informed and share in decision making • Listen to me and believe what I say • Write account in the notes and say what else is important
Comparison 4 • Look at and recognise my abilities • Include assessment of occupation status and potential • Work with me to find the resources or services I need • Comprehensive care co-ordination
Comparison 5 • Are available to talk to me when I need to talk to someone • Should be engaging and kind, in constructive partnership • Teach me about the medications I am taking • Clear and intelligible information,full discussion, choice
Political Context for change • Social Inclusion (Mental Health and Social Exclusion Report 2004) • Respecting Diversity,BME Communities (NIMHE 2003) • The Recovery Movement
A socially inclusive recovery based rehab service should… • Promote self management • Empower the expert patient • Value ethnicity and diversity • Value employment and activities to recover for…leisure, creativity, friendship networks and spirituality
How should we do this? • 10 Essential Shared Capabilities (DH 2004) • Framework for workforce development • New Ways of Working (DH 2005) should be included in training and CPD • Skills sets for recovery and social inclusion
Working in Partnership ESC 1 • Develop and maintain constructive working relationships with lay people and the wider community networks
Respecting Diversity ESC 2 • Work in ways that respect and value diversity including age, race, culture, disability, gender, spirituality and sexuality • Understand the impact of prejudice on mental health services
Practising ethically ESC 3 • Recognise the rights and aspirations of service users and their families, acknowledging power differentials and minimising them wherever possible. • Demonstrating an understanding of the service user’s wider social networks and the contribution made by carers, family and friends to the recovery process
Promoting Recovery ESC 5 • Recovery is what people experience themselves as they become empowered to achieve a meaningful life and a positive sense of belonging to the community • Facilitate access to community groups and networks that enable service users to participate in community activities
Questions about Service Structures • Is a specific rehab service necessary? • Should it be part of a CMHT? • Or should there be a specific rehab team? • Who should work with the “virtual asylum” • NHS v Private v Voluntary Sector ?
A Family of Psychosis Services • AOTs • EITs • Rehab and Recovery Teams • Continuing Care Teams • Dedicated In-patient resources
