Woodbank Ward
Learners Resource Pack
What we are
We provide an acute
admission service for the
under 65 patient group with
mental health needs for the
kirkcaldy sector (Kirkcaldy,
Burntisland, Cardenden,
Kinghorn).
Admissions to our service
tend to be emergency in
nature, but referrals can be
made by the appropriate
professionals (GP’s,
Community Nursing Teams,
Social Work Dept, Addiction
services) for those who
have mental health needs
and require inpatient care
for specific treatment.
What We Do
• We provide treatment that is based on holistic assessment and
centred on the principles of recovery.
• This treatment can be provided in a range of forms i.e. Medicinal,
Physical, Group Therapies, 1 to 1 Interactions with nursing staff.
• The care is delivered with education and empowerment a priority
focus, although the use of Mental Health Act 2003 may place
significant restrictions on a patient.
• Accompanying the treatment is the intensive co-ordination that is
necessary in addressing basic needs (housing, financial, social
inclusion, vocational etc) and future care needs. Dealing with these
needs requires a significant amount of MDT consultation, inter
agency liaison, referrals and ultimately – teamwork!
• A large part of what we do is observation and risk assessment. Both
go hand in hand in safely managing a patients treatment and
progression to discharge.
Woodbank in The Middle
• We network, utilise
& liaise with many
other organisations,
departments &
agencies.
• In the system that
responds to mental
health crisis within
our sector,
Woodbank is a
small but vital cog!

The Care Delivery System
We work with 3 consultant Psychiatrists – Dr
Reid, Dr Smith & Dr Chadrasehker whom
equally cover the GP practices within our
sector. Who your GP is dictates who your
Consultant will be within Woodbank ward.
The nursing team is divided into 3 care
management teams – a team for Dr Reid & Dr
Smith and a joint team that absorbs the
overflow from the other teams, thus
functioning for both consultants.
Dr Chandrasehker manages the continuing
care patients for Dr Reid/Smith.
Each team has a team leader whom is the
named nurse and is responsible for ensuring
that all of the patients care needs are met.
This system and the development of nursing
staff is overseen by the SCN/CN
Peter Brockie is the wards trained

The Recovery Process & The Tidal Model
•
•
•
•
•
Rights, Relationships & Recovery (2006) was the report of the National review of
Mental Health Nursing in Scotland. The report contained the delivery action plan on
which the future of mental health nursing should be developed.
Pivotal to the action plan is the implementation of a recovery focused strategy for
care delivery. Now many of us may ask ourselves ‘haven't we be doing that all
along?’ In short, yes we have, but have we maximised the full potential for recovery,
by understanding and building on what can help people to recover. The Scottish
Recovery Network (SRN) has been formed to promote and support recovery in
response to the health review. ‘Recovery is a highly personal process – no two
people’s experience will be the same.’ ‘Raise awareness of the fact that people can
and do recover from long-term mental health problems.’ ‘Develop an understanding of
how best to promote recovery and learn more about what helps people recover and
stay well.’
Now to enable us to audit our service in terms of how well we meet expectations in
terms of Equality, Social Inclusion & Recovery and Rights, the SRN developed and
introduced the Scottish Recovery Indicator (SRI), which is now being used Fife-wide
for service development.
To capitalise on the need for change in the care delivery focus, a Values Based
Practice platform was developed by the Sainsbury Centre – the 10 Essential Shared
Capabilities. These capabilities based on the Millan principles are shaped to
encourage open-mindedness and free thinking and challenge the rigid thought
processes and ways of care delivery in existence. The capabilities are essential in
maximising recovery and developing professional practice. They are the foundations
on which practice and education will be developed for the future.
Go and check them out!
The Tidal Model
•
Tidal emphasises the discovery of mental health, as its meaning varies from one
person to another. It is hoped that people will discover what mental health means for
them as unique persons.
•
Tidal helps people navigate their way to recovery.
•
The accompanying documentation currently in use is designed to encourage a
Strengths based & solution focused way of getting to know and understanding our
patients. Capitalising on who they are, what they value and what their strengths are.
It also encourages the bread and butter of our work – 1 to 1 time!!!
•
Again…you may ask yourself haven't we been doing this all along…yes and no!
Do the Tidal training and you will recognise that we (nurses) may have lost our way a
little bit.
The Professional Approach
Our practice is guided by –
• Our level of professional
registration
• Our continued professional
development and post grad
qualifications.
• Trust Policies.
• The NMC Code of
Professional Conduct and
other NMC guidelines
• The Mental Health Care and
Treatment Act 2003
• Our attitude towards personal
& service development.
• In Woodbank we have a can
do approach!

The Student Nurse in Woodbank

your care team has to offer as well as working
alongside the rest of nursing team!
It will be the care teams shared responsibility to
support you through your placement, with your

majority of your shifts with your mentor in
attendance.
