Team Around The Patient Project

Background

This project focusses on using the patient as a member of a multidisciplinary team to develop health and social care plan created and owned by the patient. This can be focused on mental health, alcohol issues or pain control or even over use of prescribed medication but will likely involve the whole of that person’s life where ever help is needed as seen by the individual.

It can be linked to the Group Consultation process if this was thought to be helpful and a relevant program was running.
