Alternatives to acute admission: crisis resolution and home treatment

by Dr Christopher Bridgett

house

   

This module begins with a look at alternatives to acute admission in adult general psychiatry. It investigates the following questions: 

 
  • why might alternatives be necessary?
 
  • what alternatives are possible?
 
  • when is acute in-patient care still needed?

 

The module then sets out the main structures and functions of a crisis resolution home treatment team.
