Referrals…
The service is targeted primarily at people who are on the Enhanced Level of the CPA register who are resident within the London Borough of Lewisham and who are aged between 16 and 65 years. Referrals are usually made by CPA care co-ordinators but also come from other parts of the service, and outside agencies. Referral Forms: For a referral form in Microsoft Word CLICK HERE (If you do not have Microsoft Word on your computer you can download a free Word Viewer CLICK HERE) What Happens Once a Referral Has Been Made? Once the team has received the referral, the service user will be contacted within seven days and an initial appointment arranged. A COS team worker will be allocated to meet with the service user to discuss their needs in more detail. This will be a mutually agreed venue but could be an in-patient ward, a local cafe, the service user's own home or a COS team base. The COS team and the service user will then agree on an action plan that will identify the service user's goals and the way in which they would like COS to support them. This plan will be reviewed on a regular basis and will form part of the CPA Care plan. |
