Rehabilitation in those with severe and enduring mental illness event

Please see invite from NICE below;

Guideline scoping workshop
on Tuesday 20th March 2018 between 10:00 – 13:00 with refreshments available from 09:30
To be held at Avonmouth House, 6 Avonmouth Street, London SE1 6NX

“I am inviting you to attend a workshop that will help us develop the scope of this guideline. We are contacting you because your organisation is registered as a stakeholder. The scope defines what the guideline will and will not cover, and we would like to hear your views on this.

After the workshop a formal consultation on the draft scope will begin on Thursday 17th April 2018 and end on Tuesday 15th May 2018 . Your organisation will be invited to comment again at this stage.

We want to hear as wide a range of views from as many organisations as possible, so we only have space for 1 person for each organisation.

If your organisation represents people using services, carers, or a community affected by the guideline topic, the person attending should have a good understanding of the topic from a patient, carer or community point of view.

If someone from your organisation would like to attend, please register by Tuesday the 6th February by completing and emailing the attached form to rehabmentalhealth@nice.org.uk

If you have any special requirements (for example, if you need a hearing loop or wheelchair access) please use the form to notify us in advance.

At least four weeks before the workshop, we will confirm whether we have been able to allocate a place to you. We will also send an agenda, the draft scope, venue map and information on claiming expenses one week before the workshop. Information about the Committee recruitment process will be given at the workshop.

IMPORTANT: to ensure that your expense claim is directed to the correct team at NICE, please submit the claim for this meeting using the reason code ‘CCP Stakeholder Scoping Workshop’. Please note that because workshops are optional meetings that always start after 10:00am, we will only cover accommodation costs in exceptional circumstances. These must be agreed with us before the meeting and should be in line with our travel and subsistence policy (attached). Flights must be agreed with NICE before booking. We will not cover locum costs or loss of earnings.

We hope that someone from your organisation will be able to attend the workshop.

If you have any queries, please contact Mrs Susan Hampson at Rehabmentalhealth@nice.org.uk  or on 0161 219 3804″
