The Westbury Mental Health Initiative was announced as the winner of the 2000 Lilly Schizophrenia Reintegration Awards. The team, comprising a community psychiatric nurse, general practitioner and practice manager, from the Eastleigh surgery, Westbury in Wiltshire, won the highly acclaimed national award in recognition of the development of a comprehensive mental health initiative to improve standards of care for people with schizophrenia. This included streamlining care for both clients and their relatives and carers, improving communications between secondary and primary care services and managing appropriate use of antipsychotic medication. The annual awards were introduced to recognise and reward outstanding achievement in helping patients with schizophrenia and related disorders overcome barriers in reintegrating into society. The awards are aimed at health care professionals who are based in, or who have strong links with, primary care.
