Assessment

Treatment and plans of care are formulated by a team of health care professionals, known as the multidisciplinary team (MDT). The MDT comprises nurses, doctors, a psychology department, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. The MDT will assess a patient and with the full involvement of family and carers, create an effective plan of treatment and care. Rose Ward uses the Red to Green program which ensures that patients receive treatment in a timely and safe manner. Any blockages to discharge are reviewed daily.  

Assessment and treatment include life history work to ensure a patient’s life experiences, likes and dislikes are considered. Plans of care and treatment incorporates effective risk assessment and management whilst ensuring that the patient's physical, psychological and social needs are met. Positive risk taking can also be part of the treatment process to encourage and support a least restrictive and more empowering approach of care and support.  

Rose ward carries out “Dementia Care Mapping”. This is a tool that ensures staff think about their practices and the ward environment so that patients are always the focus of staff attention and awareness. Patient wellbeing and happiness is fundamental to what we do.
