Structured Clinical Management

[MaiTT]

I have an interview for a B6 position and it's Not a presentation. I would like to prepare just generally.I want to look at as a leader how would l help in using Structured Clinical Management for Patients with Borderline Personalits Disorder. Anything l should know or do as a B6 in inpatient settings .It's application on the ward as well, it's limitations and dissemination to staff. Then any other general questions like Change and Change Management.

In terms of change management, you might wish to consider a transformational leadership approach to engage staff and involve them in the change management process. If you are looking at introducing quality improvement initiatives, maybe look at setting up some small working groups around each improvement, research the evidence and best practice processes that are easily implementable and cost little. Win-win all round. It's always worth thinking about who in the team has a high level of knowledge and would relish these types of opportunities and would get some personal kudos and motivation from it.

In terms of structured clinical management for patients with BPD, its often flexibility that is key to engaging this patient group, rather than have too much structure. Do a bit of research on the evidence other than just considering a rigid structured approach. Its about the patient and how the service can engage them in the change process, and not the other way round. Again, you need buy-in from the patient group, otherwise you just go around in circles.

Hope this helps!

Well appreciated will keep you posted. In ward areas SCM is usually on a 1top basis with the patients as opposed to community. However like you are saying it's about engaging with the patients and not being too structured and rigid.
