This application is for a qualitative study to be conducted as part of a PhD project. The overall aim of this study is to
explore how medication for mental health is managed in relation to Shared Decision Making (SDM) principles in Early
Intervention for Psychosis Services (EIPS),in order to inform improvements to patients' involvement in care. EIPS are
specialist services for people who experience psychosis for the first time,which offer support for up to three years.
SDM,which is recommended in recent NICE guidelines for all forms of healthcare,refers to the collaboration between two ‘experts’,the clinician (an expert on evidence-based treatment options) and the service user (an expert in personal experiences and preferences),to come to a decision on treatment. Mental health has lagged behind other areas of medicine in implementing SDM,so research exploring how this can be developed and embedded within clinical practice is timely.
