One of a series of briefings for the Implementing Recovery through Organisational Change project, this paper aims to explore the links between recovery and personalisation and their part in a common agenda for mental health system transformation. It describes personalisation, personal budgets in social care, and personal health budgets in the NHS (noting that 26 pilot sites are currently experimenting with these for mental health in areas such as early intervention, assertive outreach, and older people's mental health services). It examines the philosophy and objectives of recovery and personalisation in the context of the current service system, and discusses the implications of personalised recovery-focused practice and shared decision-making. It also looks at personal health budgets as tools for recovery, identifying 8 core features and arguing that these need to be put in place to ensure that recovery-oriented services maximise the potential of personal health budgets.
