Hosp Community Psychiatry – The Nursing/Key Worker Role In The Mental Health Multidisciplinary Team

Mental Health care in the UK has undergone many changes since the closing of the Asylums and the start of Community Care.

Along with these policy changes is how people with a mental illness received treatment came other theories and ideas that attempted to improve the way Health Care Professionals worked.

The Bio psychosocial model working. Besides, during a hospital stay the length of time spent with the Service User is unique to the role, while these qualities are not exclusively traits of just Nurses. Basically, it is possible because of the emphasis placed within Mental Health Nursing on communication and the ability to establish a therapeutic rapport with others. Mental Health Nursing whether in a Hospital or Community setting has at its heart the developing of a relationship with the Service User that allows them to successfully navigate through the mental health system. And therefore the Nurse can often find themselves acting as a bridge between the needs of the Service User and the wants of the MDT. It’s in contrast to other HCPs who traditionally have had skilled but intervention based roles within a Service User’s care. Nonetheless, more change looks inevitable and from a financial perspective having a smaller MDT or even having a single cross trained Mental Health Professional looks a more attractive option.

These developments over the years was seen as having a largely positive impact on the way that Mental Health Services have conducted themselves with the end result being a better outcome for the Service User. 6, Dooher, 2009 February.
