Describe how three key professionals could be involved in planning support for individuals/Mr.Ali
There are three key professionals working with Mr.Ali and supporting him through his decisions. They are also working together with each other to put together a support plan for Mr.Ali. The three key professionals are; a community psychiatric nurse, support worker and dietician.
Each has a different role in the planning support for Mr.Ali as they are all supporting Mr.Ali with different aspects of his health and well-being.
A Community Psychiatric Nurse is fully trained and has many years experience in a hospital setting before going out into the community. Their experience would have been on psychiatric wards in hospitals.
The role of the Community Psychiatric Nurse is to visit people in the community, usually in the patient’s own home but can also be clinic based. CPN’s are normally the patient’s first point of contact as they are there to support people who are experiencing a difficult time in their lives. They also visit patients in the community who are in good health to ensure they are okay.
A CPN administers medication to patients and ensure they know the reason to why they are taking then and when they should take them.
A CPN does not only support the patient but also family, friends and carers. This role is valuable as it helps them to understand and cope with any illnesses the patient has.
CPN’s also take referrals from GP’s, psychiatrists and inpatient wards as the CPN will support the patient and help them get back out into the community and from then on the CPN is usually the patients key-worker.
In regards to Mr.Ali, the community psychiatric nurse will visit him at home to ensure his emotional and psychological state is not going to be jeopardised due to him taking part in the sponsored walk. The CPN will also ensure Mr.Ali is still taking his medication correctly and support him
