Abstract
The care programme approach has been introduced to improve the delivery of services to people with severe mental illness and minimise the risk that they lose contact with mental health services. Its essential elements are assessment of health and social need, a written care plan, nomination of a key worker, and regular review. It requires interprofessional collaboration and negotiation of care plans with users and carers but individual patients vary in their needs for multidisciplinary involvement and review.
