Can you give us some idea of what you have thought of yourself?

Moved to UK forum for specific input.

Hi there, psych is not my speciality so not sure how much help I can give, it may be useful if you could tell us a little more about your essay and what kind of thoughts you had on it. did you want to focus on one particular area, it sounds like a massive subject or were you going to look generally at it?

General advice would be to check any government papers and targets that relate to this issue, I'm not familiar with the mental health ones so am not sure. Are there local initiatives that you could look at, obviously protection of vulnerable adults maybe something you would want to include and care of the carers as well.

Some quick thoughts,patient would be referred via Psychiatrist to psychiatric care manager and to CPN.CPN would assess mental state,risk,help via helpers/relatives,any outside help such as day care centres,clubs etc would be suggested and report back to case manager.

If I'm allowed to promote a third party -

UK Consultant Psychiatrist for Elderly care. aka "The Shrink"

He has lots of opinion which would be a good starting point for further research.

And he's a darn nice fella.

Depends what it is about!!!:smokin:

Tissue viability theory, not the most exciting of subjects. It will get done, just not very enthusiastic about the whole thing. Just did a word count and have about 1600 words and only need 3000.
