Beskrivning

The National Service Framework for mental health aims to provide uniformly good systems so that mental health problems are detected and therefore treated early. This book sets out how learning more about mental health and reviewing current practice can be incorporated into a personal development plan or practice learning plan. It shows how to integrate quality improvements into everyday work and bridges the gap between theory and practice. Doctors nurses and practice managers can build up a personal development plan or a practice professional development plan through completing the exercises at the end of each chapter and it demonstrates how to include clinical governance in the mental healthcare services they offer.

Recensioner i media

"'Health and social care affects everyone's life. The focus for professional caring is its effect on those who are the recipients of care, but we must also pay attention to the personnel who provide that care. Increasing our understanding of why people choose to work in the caring professions, and of the culture of these organisations enables us to address some of the stress and unhappiness that leads to illness, disillusionment and discontent among professional carers. Ultimately, understanding and looking after the welfare of the workforce leads to a happier, healthier and more effective service.' Janet Thomas, in the Introduction"
