The Roles, Responsibilities and Tasks of Peer Support Workers in Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT): A Service Review
Discover the roles, responsibilities, and impact of Peer Support Workers at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership Trust (CWPT). This service review explores their use of lived experience, contributions to team culture, and the unique value they bring to mental health services. Learn about their influence on recovery and recommendations for enhancing peer support in healthcare.
Briefing Papers
Provide comprehensive overviews and best practices around current topics of interest. They include detailed evidence, policy context, best practice guidance, and personal narratives to support the implementation of best practices.
Position Papers
Articulate our stance on particular issues, illustrating how our values are enacted in various contexts.
Sharing Experience Papers
Raise awareness about specific issues where no resolution currently exists. They offer an introduction to the topic, current challenges, and recommendations for next steps, often incorporating anecdotal evidence and accounts from individuals close to the topic.
Examples of Service Evaluations
We know that many services have found it difficult to evaluate innovative ways of working such as recovery colleges and peer support. Because of this, we will endeavour to collect examples of service evaluations that might show what is possible in terms of methods and reports. While we have led on service evaluations on behalf of other organisations, many of these evaluations have not been led by Imroc. Our aim is to provide a platform for these so that others may take learning from them. If you would like support with evaluating any elements of your organisation/service, please get in touch.
Tools and Vision Papers
Practical guides and visionary documents offer tools, frameworks, and future directions for developing and implementing best practices. They help stakeholders understand and apply recovery principles in their work, ensuring a cohesive and forward-thinking approach.
