| Annotation | A report from a series of workshops held in 1996 to promote the EPICS concept to senior people within the statutory services, though Social services staff formed the majority attendees. It highlights the range of joint commissioning; the nature of consultation with users; the resistance to change and professional barriers and tribalism and the opportunities for development. EPICS may have an increasing role in a mixed economy of care.
