The need for such a group as SPRIG was mentioned, although not by name, by Dingwall in his article on psychiatric rehabilitation. SPRIG became operational in 1986 with its inaugural, bi-annual meeting held at Dykebarr Hospital, and consists of personnel working within rehabilitation multidisciplinary teams. Membership is corporate or individual and there are now ten hospitals nationally who have felt sufficiently committed to rehabilitation to invest £50 in acquiring corporate membership.
