Dissemination event (10 January 2018):
- A dissemination event was held at Woburn House, Tavistock Square, London, to share our main findings. The event was attended by over 80 stakeholders, including service users with lived experience of mental health supported accommodation, service managers, commissioners, policy-makers, clinicians and supported accommodation providers. Organisations that were represented included Camden Clinical Commissioning Group, Leicestershire County Council, Reading Borough Council, St Mungo’s, One Housing, Mind, Single Homeless Project, St Martin of Tours, Family Mosaic, Rethink, Look Ahead, Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust, South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, The McPin Foundation, Mental Health Providers Forum (MHPF), HACT, North London Central Research Consortium, North London SURF and Integra Community Living Options. The event was covered on Twitter (Twitter, Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA; www.twitter.com) by The Mental Elf (@MentalElf) using the hashtag #QuESTproject; The Mental Elf has over 55,000 followers on Twitter alone and this approach to augmenting our dissemination event proved highly successful. It resulted in 566 tweets from 174 participants, with over 8 million Twitter impressions in January 2018. This saw an increase in enquiries and website traffic during and following our final dissemination event. Interviews with Helen Killaspy, Peter McPherson and Michael Sheppard, Chief Executive of Warrington Community Living, have been made available on The Mental Elf’s SoundCloud page (www.soundcloud.com/national-elf-service; accessed 19 August 2019).
