him on 2 occasions. I will try to motivate him to
engage with myself and the multidisciplinary
team. As his Care Coordinator I will review Mr
Cordell regularly independently and with the
Community RC.
We have a Team Clinical Psychologist and it
would be vital for Mr Cordell to have some form
of talking therapy. This is on the basis of the
stress and anxiety that his mother states he
suffers from.
We have a Dual Diagnosis Worker in the team
who could offer drug counselling if necessary.
We have an organisation called ‘Remploy’
which is funded by the Local Authority.
Potentially they could support Mr Cordell to find
work. They meet regularly with clients whilst
they are in work and also liaise with employers.
I could support Mr Cordell in making an
application for PIP. Alternatively, he could get
that support from ‘Enfield Well-Being Connect’
The Mental Health Enablement Team could
provide support in tenancy management as well
as support to access education/training and work.
Opinion and recommendations
I have met Mr Cordell on two occasions only
and I have not had the opportunity to assess him
in the community. A rapport needs to be
established with him.
On the basis of recent events, history of risks
to self and alleged risks towards others, and
taking into account the views of the MDT on
the ward I think that he would benefit from a
longer stay in hospital. This is in-order for the
MDT to assess him comprehensively to
determine if he has a severe and enduring
mental illness such as
schizophrenia/psychosis. If it is determined
that he has a severe mental illness then this
should be treated accordingly whilst he is in
hospital.
