The Care Programme Approach (CPA) means that each patient has their own individual care pathway which is designed to meet their needs and provide them with a stable, safe rehabilitation programme. Individual packages of care will be drawn up with the active involvement of the patient. The model of care is based on the “Recovery Model” which includes psychosocial intervention and cognitive behavioural therapy. Attention is paid to the social as well as psychological needs of the patient. A named nurse will be allocated to each patient, who will work closely with the multidisciplinary team (MDT) who include Consultant Psychiatrists, Staff Grade Psychiatrists, Consultant Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers and a G.P Service.
