Thank you for this so moving and very well written testimonial. This is a great tribute to Eric. You have also done an outstanding summary on Open Dialogue and its current developments that hopefully will spread over more mental health services in the future. I am proud to be with you as part of the Open Dialogue Champions group in the UK and wonder if there are similar initiatives in other countries?

Hi Daniel, the UK ODDESSI National Programme is directed by Professor Steve Pilling (UCL) https://www.ucl.ac.uk/mental-health/people/professor-steve-pilling
It is funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) – £2.4m Grant – and managed by North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT) with Russell Razzaque.
What is interesting is that the trial is set up on a Peer Supported Open Dialogue (POD) approach. Documents from the last UK 2018 POD conference in London are here at http://apopendialogue.org/pod-conference-2018/
You can also get in touch with Yasmin Ishaq from Kent and Medway NHS Partnership trust who opened an Open Dialogue Service in the UK in Kent. https://www.kmpt.nhs.uk/information-and-advice/open-dialogue.htm
