Happy New Year! We thought we would be starting the year with our conference in Aberdeen, but due to unforseen circumstances it has been postponed until a later date. We plan to hold it sometime in the spring and will keep you posted on the details. Sorry about the delay.
On a more positive note, we saw the launch of the NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (QIS) Standards for ICPs for Mental Health at the end of December. They are made up of four components – process standards, care standards, condition-specific care standards and service improvement standards. A lot of this is relevant to anyone who is developing ICPs and is well worth a look. You can obtain copies of the standards by contacting NHS QIS or you can download the document from their website at: www.nhshealthquality.org
