J. Repper
I am currently developing a new MSc pathway in Recovery and Social Inclusion to commence 2010 (this will constitute the first UK course dedicated to this subject).
Over the past 10 years I have held joint academic/service posts which have enabled me to place an emphasis on the implementation of research findings through further research, service development, workforce development and training. I have co-developed a toolkit for training mental health workers in
Recovery principles and approach including a personal recovery planning pack for service users.
