In May 2001 the PICU Policy Research and Development Group based at NELMHT were specially commissioned by the Department of Health to produce National PICU Standards. The Group initiated a PICU and Low Secure Practice Development Network. This Network, which consisted of a multidisciplinary group of professionals and user representatives from around the UK, met for 9 consensus workshops between May 2001 and January 2002. The aim of the workshops was to develop standards for psychiatric intensive care and low secure environments. The remit of the group was to: identify and agree standards for psychiatric intensive care and low secure services; and identify general good practice guidance for each of the standards. The objective of developing these standards is to provide users, clinicians, managers, and commissioners with a dynamic framework for delivering high quality services. Through standard setting and evaluation, services can be clear about where they are and what they are aiming for.

Eight published literature reviews of case management were evaluated to determine areas of consensus regarding outcomes associated with full service, broker, and hybrid models. Full service was recommended for "best practice" status and the effectiveness of the broker model was seriously questioned. Research evaluating paraprofessional and peer assisted models of case management, a potential method for improving outcomes, was also reviewed.

The book introduces the idea of values-based practice in mental health. It sets out the skills practitioners need to learn to be aware of values, to know how to explore them and to help to resolve any tensions around them. Values-based practice gives mental health staff the skills they need to get below the surface and to build better relationships with their clients and with each other. It helps them to negotiate conflicts of values and to see diversity as an asset to be used rather than a problem to get over. This resource is for continuing professional development and for working with the National Institute for Mental Health in England's 'Framework of Values for Mental Health'.
