Patients' experiences of a multidisciplinary team-led community case management programme: a qualitative study.

Objectives: To explore the views and experiences of patients on the care they have received while enrolled on the Northumberland High Risk Patient Programme (NHRPP). This programme involved case finding of frail patients using a multidisciplinary team (MDT)-led community case management programme, and support of patients through care planning and regular reviews using primary, community, secondary and social care professionals.

Design: A qualitative study using semistructured interviews, which were digitally recorded, transcribed and subject to thematic analysis.

Walking a fine line: Forensic mental health practitioners' experience of working with correctional officers.

This paper explores mental health professionals' experiences working with correctional staff--one aspect of an interdisciplinary phenomenological study of ethical practice in forensic psychiatry. Professionals describe this relationship as coexisting within the system, despite their often conflicting roles. In correctional officers' overt concern for custody and control, practitioners can perceive a "paramilitary mentality" with which they struggle to work.
