Presentation Title:

A talk on assertive outreach services

Abstract

Psychiatric services can be provided in different methods, models and settings to meet different clinical needs. Assertive Outreach services are designed to provide intense care to patients with complex psychiatric needs and limited engagement, usually under mental health legislations. One of the main key features are to provide a comprehensive care involving both the psychiatric and the physical health related difficulties. The service also provides a psychological support route for different clinical indications under a multi-disciplinary team setting. The biopsychosocial treatment plan can be tailored to patients to meet their needs and their cultural differences.
