Recommendation · source text
In discussion with the trust we have identified a number of key themes arising from this investigation. We recommend that these themes should be part of a short independent review but carried out in partnership with the trust. The objective of the review would be to identify how effectively the themes have been embedded within the new team structures and services and what, if any, further action needs to be taken. The trust is supportive of this approach. The themes are: How do the new service delivery models address the challenges of difficult-to-engage, risky clients? How do the teams liaise and interface with each other in managing risky patients at various contact points? What is the quality of the clinicians’ risk assessment and management? How effectively are MHA assessments carried out?
