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.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday 11th March starting at 6pm for tea, coffee and biccies, and ending at 8pm. Lauren Bate, our Rethink link, will be coming along to our group this Wednesday. We want you to tell us what you get out of the group and what would you like to see more of. If you are travelling by public transport, Manchester Carers Centre is directly across the road from the New Islington Metrolink stop (Droylsden Line). It’s one tram stop from Piccadilly train station. Some of us meet at Piccadilly station by the taxi rank at 5.30 and head up together. Text Lindsey on 07757 082 976 so we know to wait for you. If you are travelling by car, free parking is available on Pollard Street from 6pm.
