Model of Care

The HSE National Clinical Programme for Early Intervention in Psychosis published its Model of Care in June 2019. The document was launched by Jim Daly T.D. - Minister for Mental Health & Older People - and provides a roadmap for the development of EI services in Ireland in line with international best practice.
