If you've already signed up to updates from The Schizophrenia Commission website, then you'll know about the latest blog post from Commissioner Jonathan Phillips on the gap between theory and practice in the treatment of schizophrenia. At the Schizophrenia Commission hearing that took place in Manchester last week, I was struck by the huge gap between the practice of the very committed professionals who spoke and the experiences relayed by service users and carers. There are pockets of good practice but so many people with schizophrenia and their families are being failed by the system of care.
The Centre for Women's Mental Health in the University of Manchester are offering a FREE half day workshop for female mental health service users who wish to improve their knowledge about sexual and reproductive health matters and their interaction with mental health. Participants will be introduced to an innovative online resource ( www.scie.org.uk/publications/elearning/sexualhealth/index.asp ), and provided with opportunities to reflect critically on these matters drawing on their own experience. The workshop will run on Friday 19 April 2013, 9.45am-2.00pm, at the University of Manchester, Manchester M13 9PL. (Venue details to be confirmed). For further details about the workshop and how to book a place, please see the poster .
