The Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) Steering Group commissioned a survey to find out which areas of clinical practice the mental health community view as priority for the development of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs). Fifty per cent of all professionals and service users surveyed considered the assessment of risk and management of deliberate self-harm and dangerousness' a priority area for guideline development. These findings provided the basis for a successful bid to the Department of Health for the development of The Royal College of Psychiatrists' first CPG.
