Inspired Bromley is a wonderful example of a number of agendas coming together for mutual benefit. Qaisra Khan, Oxleas Spiritual and Cultural Care Co-ordinator, has been involved in focus groups and surveys that have been effective in hearing from service users about how they would like Oxleas to develop.
One of the responses was a request for a forum to discuss philosophy, faith and spirituality, and as a result "Inspired Bromley" was born. Inspired Bromley is a group, meeting monthly, in which service users can talk about faith, spirituality and philosophy in a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. All mental health service users are welcome.
For further information please contact Qaisra Khan on 01322 625713.

Supporting Service Development
The Special Interest Group was founded in 1999 to provide a forum for psychiatrists to explore the influence of the major religions, which shape the cultural values and aspirations of psychiatrist and patient alike.
The spiritual aspirations of persons not identifying with any one particular faith are held to be of no less importance, as well as the viewpoint of those who hold that spirituality is independent of religion. The meetings are designed to enable colleagues to investigate and share without fear of censure the relevance of spirituality to clinical practice.
The Special Interest Group aims to contribute a framework of ideas of general interest to the College, stimulating discussion and promoting an integrative approach to mental health care. For patients, there is the need to help the service user feel supported in being able to bring spiritual concerns to the fore.
Visit the SIG website:
The main purpose of the Spirituality Forum is to benefit service users of mental health services from all ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds and those of no particular religion in the UK and to promote a more holistic approach to their recovery.
