Summary

Outcomes for the psychosis programme were captured for the first time in 2012 and analysis of data from the programme has consistently suggested benefits for service users since this time. Average total scores on the RAS and DAI have been consistently shown to increase post intervention, suggesting the Psychosis Recovery Programme is helpful in supporting service users’ recovery and in encouraging more positive views towards medication.

Programme staff explained that their client’s inability to complete the measures accurately at the pre time point due to the acute nature of their illness has resulted in significant amount of lost data. Programme staff will be proactive in encouraging completion of measures accurately in order to increase response rates in 2017.
