Re: Making Personalisation Effective in Mental Health: MIND and UCLAN
From: John Cromby
There is a deep sense in which personalisation means that individuals
are accountable for spending resources wisely, whilst other
responsibilities are diffused or de-emphasised. Personalisation is a way
of managing this shift of responsibility whilst making it superficially
appear to be a good thing (at least for those relatively articulate,
well-supported, well-resourced service users who by dint of these
advantages are able to make it work for them).
To the extent that personalisation does this and simultaneously diverts
attention from underlying questions such as the one you pose, it could
be argued that in fact it will meet its aims perfectly!

Am I alone in wondering whether the aims of 'personalisation' can be

Who, for example, would be accountable for universal access to services?

from MIND document on the web:
Personalisation
Personalisation is about meeting the needs of individuals in ways that
work best for them (Carr, 2008). It includes prevention, early
intervention, and self-directed support where service users are in
control of arranging and managing their own support services. In the
context of mental health services, personalisation accommodates mental
health promotion and maintenance: having choice and control over one’s
life contributes to wellbeing. With personalisation comes:
Ensuring universal access to public and community services; prevention
and early intervention; promoting coproduction of services and the
growth of social capital in communities and the social care sector;
improving access to information and advice for all people who use
social care services regardless of how they are funded;
and recognising and supporting carers.
Carr and Robbins, 2009

Free Personalisation Course
Making Personalisation Effective In
Mental Health
FREE Course – saving you £1,500 – exploring theory and practice of
personalisation in mental health and designing solutions for your area.
Personalisation can transform lives for people who use mental health
services, yet practice in many areas hasn’t kept up with the wishes
of service users or policy makers.
Mind and the University of Central Lancashire have devised a
programme of participatory workshops aimed at those responsible for
shaping local service delivery to explore personalisation and devise
ways of making it happen.
As well as hearing from some of the national leaders in
personalisation in mental health the course will offer you the chance
to reflect on and gain coaching on what works best for your
locality. This course is aimed at equipping people involved to move
personalisation forward together and the series of participatory
workshops and action hubs will explore:
The ideology and policy framework behind the introduction of
personalisation
Balancing risk management, duty of care and enablement
Legal framework for personalisation – including Health & Social Care
Acts, Mental
Health Act, Equalities Act and others
Different approaches and models already being used, including
statutory approaches and practices impacting on recovery
Designing interventions to making personalisation effective in mental
health practice
Empowerment, community links - what co-design and co-production
really is. Support planning & Developing recovered focused
personalised services
There will also be opportunities for you to design and develop
approaches to unblocking progress to personalised mental health
services for your area through online and face-to-face action hubs
with course participants and facilitators.
Who should attend:
The course will be of particular interest to senior managers
responsible for planning service delivery; care co-ordinators
responsible for delivering personalised services; commissioners in
health and social care and service user groups involved in
influencing local services and strategy.
Ideally we are looking for participants to attend as small groups of
3 or 4 from an area.
Accreditation:
This course is delivered in partnership with UCLAN and participation
will be recognised through certification by UCLAN – this will
contribute towards your CPD.
Details of the course:
The series of 6 participatory workshops will be delivered 4 times
over the next 18 months. This first series will operate as a pilot,
to help us refine and develop the following sets. As such, we are
offering places on the Pilot Series fully subsidised – saving
participants an estimated £1,500.
The first two days are the 19th & 20th March 2013.
Venue:
Manchester Conference Centre – located in central Manchester a short
walk away from the main train station (Manchester Piccadilly).
Accommodation at the venue is included for the evening between Days 1
& 2 of the course.

Medical discourse currently dominates as the defining framework for madness in educational praxis. Consequently, ideas rooted in a mental health/illness binary abound in higher learning, as both curriculum content and through institutional procedures that reinforce structures of normalcy. While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.
This paper offers Mad…
