- Patient Care Pathway
- Patient will go to the GP or be taken by a family member. GP will ask question/observe patient to see if patient is suspicious, has odd
beliefs, has become withdrawn from people, has an unusual manner or if they are distressed but cannot explain why. GP will perform a
full psychiatric assessment: psychiatric History- assessment of symptoms, medical and social history. Patient who are undergoing an
acute schizophrenic episode will be assessed for the risk to themselves and others. If there is no immediate risk, the treatment can be
lead by the Community Mental Health Team-psychiatrist, social workers, psychologist and mental health nurses. Psychiatrist will
prescribe antipsychotics, social worker will help with housing or employment, counsellor or psychologist will support the patient
emotionally. Regular monitoring- patient in remission kept on medication for a minimum of 2 years. Approximately 75% of patients will
experience a relapse.
