Last Wednesday we held a special event to mark Schizophrenia Awareness Week. Dr Richard Drake came to talk to us about his approach to understanding and treating schizophrenia commission, as well as his involvement in the Innovation Network, the follow up to the Schizophrenia Commission. Here are group members Dawn, Steve, Lindsey, David and Alan all arriving for the event. Richard gave a fascinating and really informative presentation taking lots of questions from the floor. We had lots of feedback from attendees who said how much they enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who came and asked questions, and to Richard for such an informative evening. Here's our Chair, Lindsey, introducing Richard.
