Hi Mike. Sorry You had to leave Edinburgh so soon. Isn`t it allways tempting to 
try to make a good thing do even more? I have had to curb my enthusiasm 
repeatedly in my ideas to make the START jump trough flaming rings etc. I like 
Your model, though. There is a need for developing some kind of meta-model 
concerning our branch of psyciatry. 
We probable are a chatty bunch here in Trondheim, as in my experience, a START 
meeting takes about an hour, maybe one and a half if we do the treatment plan 
in the same meeting. This is in the beginning of the patients stay, after a 
couple of STARTs, we usually make it in approx. 45 minutes. Maybe we should 
look into this.

Thanks Chris, Sarah and Steve for your helpful responses.
 
I think the items are ideal areas for consideration when assessing strengths 
and risks, but also for the assessment of physical, psychological, social and 
political needs. As you know we are piloting the START to do this as part of 
applying the health career model. 
 
Initial feedback was good but the e-proforma we used (which included evidence 
boxes, formulation and intervention sections), was felt to take too long and 
many never fully completed it. In a sense we 'overcooked' the process as 
previous version was broadly welcomed! Therefore, attempting to make 
adjustments to make the process more efficient and practically useful. Will 
feedback to the group in due course.
 
Another query; on average how long do people find the START takes to complete?
 
Thanks again.
Mike

        Hi Mike,
                    Not sure I can add much. But, obviously, the HCR-20 
provided a platform for us.And having a couple of senior, very 
experienced,nurses (Mary-Lou and Connie) made the essential  difference. 
Somewhat later, as I explained in a paper given at the Montreal IAFMHS meeting 
on our joint behalf, I realized that a dictionary of synonyms and antonyms 
could have saved us some work. I really do,though, believe that the only way to 
set up an SPJ device that has any hope of working is to establish a small group 
of colleagues willing to work together assiduously until the task is done. It 
is not a task for a committee and it is not a task for an individual person. It 
should, of course, be a topic to be studied and researched in its own right.  
                    Thanks, Roger, for getting this going!    Cheers(We should 
be a formidable presence in Vcvr)   Chris.
