​
Thirty two editions were published from 2017 - 2020 (two with guest editors)
​
I was inspired to initiate the editorial to engage stakeholders in the evidence and science base that the programme was using for its service designs.
​
It was also with a view to 'testing and learning' with practitioners and service beneficiaries alike.
​
A special edition (Edition 30) was specifically focused on the topic of 'Adverse Childhood Experiences'.
​
All editions were in the following format:
​
-
An editorial summary of the peer reviewed journal article
-
Links to how this was being applied in the service designs and associated delivery
-
Questions to engage practitioners and stakeholders in both the science and the practice
