Professor Joanne Neale and colleagues at King’s College London are developing a validated measure of recovery, designed from a service user perspective. The measure builds on the Everyday Lives Recovery Project findings and aims to be straightforward and easy to use for everyone in recovery, alone or in a therapeutic context. “We are putting it through some rigorous psychometric testing so it will be very robust,” Professor Neale promises. Findings will be ready just in time for Recovery Plus.
