| Description | Early intervention in psychosis (EIP) services are now a priority for Ireland’s Health Service Executive (HSE). A Model of Care for EIP services has been completed after wide consultation. It has just been launched by the Minister for Mental Health and the aim now is to roll out EIP services throughout the country. The Model of Care outlines the rational, configuration, resources, governance, and quality assurance required to operate EIP services. Two models are recommended. The first is a Hub & Spoke service model for rural and smaller urban areas. The second is a Stand-Alone service model for large urban and metropolitan areas. Introducing EIP services is going to be a challenge but there are plenty of good examples overseas. They have been shown to greatly enhance local services’ ability to meet the needs of people developing psychotic disorders. They bring with them better outcomes, service satisfaction and cost savings. |
