It is likely to be of value at the earliest stages of psychosis development - at the first episode. Organisational climate is one factor likely to affect implementation into Early Intervention Services (EIS), which serve those experiencing first episode psychosis. We aimed to understand the organisational climate within UK NHS Early Intervention for Psychosis (EIP) services and the barriers and facilitators for the introduction of CR. METHODS: We conducted semi structured interviews with 42 EIS members of four teams in four NHS Trusts. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. RESULTS: There were differences between teams, including leadership style, involvement in decision making and willingness to adopt CR. Resource shortages were considered the main barrier for implementation across all teams. The evidence base behind CR and the recognition of there being a clinical need was seen as the main facilitator. Teams with more democratic leadership, and knowledge of both the evidence base and need for CR, may feel better able to successfully incorporate it into their service. CONCLUSION: Despite enthusiasm for novel treatments, EIS teams are limited by their resources. An understanding of the local organisational variables can help teams establish a culture that values innovation. Clear communication of the evidence base for CR is key to help enable staff to implement novel treatments successfully despite these limited resources and time pressures. date: 2022-04-15 date_type: published publisher: BMC official_url: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-022-07790-0 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1951837 doi: 10.1186/s12913-022-07790-0 medium: Electronic pii: 10.1186/s12913-022-07790-0 lyricists_name: Joyce, Eileen lyricists_id: EMJOY57 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner funding_acknowledgements: RP-PG-0612-20002 [National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Programme Grants for Applied Research] full_text_status: public publication: BMC Health Services Research volume: 22 article_number: 509 pages: 11 event_location: England issn: 1472-6963 citation: Lammas, Francis; Phillips, Alexandria; Dopson, Sue; Joyce, Eileen; Csipke, Emese; Wykes, Til; (2022) The organisational climate of NHS Early Intervention Services (EIS) for psychosis: a qualitative analysis.
