EIIP Services have developed nationally in line with the NICE guidance and NHS England. The EIIP Service provides early detection, assessment and intervention for 14-65 year olds who are experiencing a first episode of psychosis in Surrey and NE Hampshire.

The aim of the service is to reduce the impact of the emerging illness on the individual and their families. The service is based on an outreach model with the interventions being delivered alongside individuals in the community. NICE recommend care plans that include individual CBT, family interventions, physical health monitoring, occupational/vocational support as well as medication are offered.
